    A bag question for the PC stitch counters

    To get the conversation back to the point, I think your shot pouch has way more against it than working for it to be used for anything historical. The good news is that I think an appropriate pouch that you would want is much simpler in design and extremely easy to whip up. As stated much...

    Films set in the 1830s/40s?

    Gentleman Jack, 2019-2022 on HBOmax. Very good costuming, no gunplay, yet I highly recommend for reasons which would become obvious very quickly. Primary source based. Distant Drums, 1951 wl Gary Cooper on YT. Classic, filmed on location, not great accuracy. The Pale Blue Eye, 2022 w/...

    War films set in the (pre-Revolution) 18th century?

    No one said Washington's Armor yet? Haven't seen it, doubt it's good, but it fits the criteria.

    Recent article on the slow-creep of eliminating historic reenactments (this one's in Pennsylvannia)...

    You raise some good points Dave, but as I stated right off, I don't have the metrics to track attendence which is obviously impacted by many variables, like MV being in NOVA and Brandywine not having a marketing department. Next time I'm with Doug I'll ask him about the metrics, but I'm well...

    I'm kinda dense. You're going to need to quote it. Thanks again!

    I don't recall ever trying to tell anyone what to do, so if I did, I could really use the help by anyone quoting any part of my comments that did. Thanks!

    Yeah. So the big private property battle is the week before. On the actual anniversary weekend will be the typical battlefield walks around the Natl park. I think your domain is the right one.

    Recent article on the slow-creep of eliminating historic reenactments (this one's in Pennsylvannia)...

    I'd be interested in tracking spectatorship to battle reenactments. From my perspective, people really aren't coming to battle centric events. Consider as well, most progressive battle centric events that I'm aware of aren't even open to the public. There are more and more reenactments closed...

    18th Century smooth rifles

    Except that, as posted above, there are copious examples of oct-rnd smooth rifles from the period.

    I wasn't being snarky and never mentioned unwashed masses or accused anyone of being uninformed. I am completely unaware of how your unarguably vast and varied living history career effects Pennsylvania state policies. Another thing I have written nothing about are the policies that you're...

    Recent article on the slow-creep of eliminating historic reenactments (this one's in Pennsylvannia)...

    No one is banning reenacting and any discussion of that happening is clearly misinformation. You can tell a lot about who posts and comments on these type of threads in argument of the changes because it's a strong indicator of one's disconnect with actual living history and demonstrates a high...

    Trade gun trigonometry

    North West guns and the Carolina guns are different patterns from different contacts/ vendors, for different customers, and decades apart but they too had sights.

    Haversack progress.

    I've never seen an original with a leather flap. I'd be interested to see an example if you have one.

    Trade gun trigonometry

    While this has nothing to do with rifles, but yes there are more cast fowler type trigger guards in archives containing mid 18th c trade gun parts than sheet. These could indicate a higher presence of 16-20 shilling guns than the cheaper Carolina/ type G, or they could have come from something...

    New history podcast up

    If you're like me, you've got the earbuds in or radio on while you're working on the next gun, driving to the next show or reenactment, or simply working outside. Podcasts are a great way to take a break from music while still learning something. 2 Complicated 4 History is a new one I've found...

    George Washington

    If he did have a longarm, it was a fusil or carbine, but definitely not carried by him, but possibly on a wagon, only to be used dismounted. Definitely not a rifle.

    Carolina Gun/ Type G , done too !

    There's actually strong archeological evidence that consumers actually preferred that these Carolina guns didn't have the rear sights. More often than not they're found separate from the guns at native sites as surface finds, but usually never on the gun. They could have fallen off, but the...
