Found this forum by accident, but after reading most of the listings, I think this could be very helpfull to me.
I am in the middle of getting an outfit together for Roger's Rangers, having spent the begining of this year either making items or buying.
The biggest expence so far is my 50 cal. Smooth Bore Kentucky Flint lock Muskett from Armi Sport.
With all the other items I need seem to be never ending.
It is good to read the comments some of you have made, over their in the U.S.
Keep up the good work, I still have a lot to learn.
As well as doing Roger's Rangers this year, for the last 6 years I have been an American Civil War re-enactor over here in England, and was privaliged to be able to get over to the U.S. last year and with about 80 other British re-enactors spending the 1st to the 7th July in Gettysburg, Re-enacting.
Keep up the good work.

Welcome to the group.
As you have found, I'm sure, this is the place to ask questions. We have several people who are interested in re-enacting a number of different periods of history.

I also find it fascinating to hear other views and happenings from places outside the USA.

Again, Welcome!

Welcome Cowpoke,

You'll find this site is a valuable resource for all things that burn, or are related to, blackpowder.

Watch out for the French Marines.

Sound advice Rick, I'll do my best to keep them dry, but you've heard what the English weather is like.
No I havn't fired any of these guns, my main muzzleloader has bee my Euro Arms 1851 3 band Enfield which I use often during the summer months for re-enacting.
I hope to use my new Kentucky flintlock for bit of live firing when I can.
Will post the results if they are any good.
Thank you all for making me welcome.
