    loadin brown bess

    Personal thing here....If you want it to shoot like a rifle......get a rifle!..I got a Bess because that's what I wanted to shoot..including the little Darling's faults..It's a military weapon designed for speed/ease of use..not Accuracy....just my opinion. Steve

    sea service muskets??

    As there were only 33 RN personnel with Braddock,I doubt it....Depends how you class "Sea Service"...there were a lot of older weapons issued for Sea Service...but they weren't "Sea Service" in the sense of being specifically designed as some were. Steve

    For fiction,I've just finished Jimmy Carter's"The Hornet's Nest" about the Revwar in Georgia & the Carolinas..bit dry,but he's certainly done an aweful lot of research...more light-hearted are "The blooding of Jack Absolute" & "Jack Absolute" by ?? Humphreys..first is F&I,second RevWar..be...
