Lets see those period arms.
« on: March 07, 2013, 04:30:34 PM »
Hello the camp.

This camp seems to have been abandoned.

Here are a couple photos of my Kings Musket to get things started.



Keep an eye on the skyline.

My current primary firelock for the RevWar era is a Carolina Gun/Type G trade gun made by Mike Brooks of IA. http://www.fowlingguns.com/carolinatradegun.html

48" barrel. 20ga. Walnut stock (he offers beech as well for Southern folks). Weighs 6lbs 2oz. Ordered "in the white". I did the finish work.








AMBUSH!!!!!!!!!


I also have a fusil de chasse that was partially built by Alex Efremenko of PA. I did the woodwork/finishing, he did the major inletting. It's my 1740-1760 firelock.

No pics, unfortunately.

I don't believe you can get a horse in there.

God had a REALLY bad day when he whipped up the horse.  He plum forgot to stuff in enough brain's.  1500 lb. & dumber than a rabbit. Lest this offends anyone, I was raised around 'em & was actually a cowboy in Oregon, Kansas & Texas.  They are soooo beautiful, but will take you out in the blink of an eye.   ....Tom

Those are some fine firearms everyone, let's see a few more.

If any of you with horses want to include them with photos of your arms, feel free to do so.  Don't neglect any period edged weapons you may have for your personae.

I have a bayonet for my Bess, I'll try to post a photo or two.  Once I get a chance to take a few, that is.
