    Brown Bess for first ML?

    I have actually, and even had a few links PM'd to me, (unfortunately the links did not work. Tried using both Firefox and IE). Currently there aren't any for sale there. One problem I have with used muskets is that this is somewhat of an unusual purchase for me. Namely, it's not being...

    Thanks Okwaho

    I wondered about that too. One possible answer might be to facilitate different holds based on the firing position. I've only seen this done with stocks very recently though. Currently our soldiers overseas seem to like to shoulder their rifles with just the toe of the buttstock touching...

    Brown Bess for first ML?

    I'm on a waiting list with MVT for a long land pattern as soon as they get their next batch in. I've been reading over every Bess related post on this forum, starting from the very beginning and it appears that most people have a favorable impression of these guns. Apparently the stock is...

    Never know what you will find in a musket barrel

    It makes a lot of sense when you think about it. A lot of people probably kept their guns loaded back in the day for the same reasons people do now. Then grampa dies and everyone just assumes that old gun of his was unloaded. With it being a muzzleloader, you can't just open up the action...

    Brown Bess for first ML?

    Thanks for all the replies. I originally posted this and then went out to work on my car expecting to find one or maybe two responses when I returned. It looks like a Brown Bess is definitely in my future. I don't think I'll have the cash for the Pedersoli though. I figure a new Indian...

    Brown Bess for first ML?

    I'm a long time avid shooter who's never done any muzzleloading before. Lately, I've developed hankering for something radically different. I've always liked milsurps and historically significant firearms, and what's got me interested right now is a Brown Bess reproduction. I'm thinking...
