We might chuckle at them now, but Man in the Wilderness, JJ, Winterhawks,Windwalkers, all made an attempt in the easily available research to dress them right. Pat Turney made much of the clothing for The Mountain Men and many of the background people were AMM

Interesting! Thanks.

Now if one desires to faithfully recreate that movie character, the first item required would be a ".30 caliber Hawken". Good luck with that...

30 balls/lb is what we call .54.

 

[jonathan butcher]

I believe you are correct about that. We use the word 'caliber' differently than JJ would have.

30 balls/lb is what we call .54.

 

[jonathan butcher]

. Or, like John Wayne coming out of the Civil War with his '92 Winchester. LOL

30 balls/lb is what we call .54.

And 50 "caliber" (in 50 balls to the pound) would be 0.453".
