    Flintlock ID Help

    Thanks JD! It sure does look like one of Jim's creations. Original owner thought it might be a Chambers, but the RR stamp confused the issue to me. No question it's a quality made lock, with many nice finished touches. Thanks, again. mjw

    dixons gun makers fair

    Was there from about 11:00 am Fri till 11:00 on Sat. As usual, hot and humid, but saw no rain. Friday was very busy; surprisingly several regular sellers were absent - ie. Tip Curtis and a couple of horners, several others, too. Not a lot of gun entries for judging by noontime on Saturday; lots...

    Ft. Ticondaroga

    Phil - Both the F&I War and Rev War major reenactment events at Ft Ti in June and Sept are history. The new PC/HC requirements of reenactors have pretty much led to a major boycott of Ft Ti. Much smaller two day events are now the norm, where reenactors sign on to the stricter PC/HC...

    Source of nice Lehigh rifle?

    I have to second Allen Martin as the master of the art of LeHigh rifle craftsmenship. Over a year ago, I had an opportunity to acquire one of his earlier (#49) rifles, which had been a collectors 'cabinet queen' for over twelve years and had never seen a ball or powder charge. After close...

    No reenactments at Ticonderoga this year?

    it's not so much an emphasis on on HC/PC as it is a swing to excessive HC/PC and the manner in which it was presented to the reenactors and sutlers by the new regime at Fort Ti that led to the boycott by so many. There has to be a reasonable balance between 21st century lives and 18th century...

    No reenactments at Ticonderoga this year?

    True! Neither the F&I or Rev War weekend events will occur this year at Ft Ti. It all is a part of the new Ft Ti director's plans for presenting the fort's history. There are several smaller, by invite, events planned that you can find on the fort's website. There will be a more concerted effort...

    What Wood You Do?

    Hey BD! On another thread you said you're going to Dixon's at the end of the month - why not check out what both Tiger Stripe and Dunlap has to offer? If you've got special length or wood choice, call 'em and they'll probably bring some special offerings for you to choose from at Dixon's. Sure...

    Dixon's Gunmakers Fair

    Yes! There are representatives at the Gunmakers Fair from the Pennsylvania Longrifle Museum nearby who are more than happy to render opinions on original guns. They'll have a nice display, as well. Look for them. Mms

    Fort Ti F&I "Grand" Encampment?

    From what I'd gathered in conversations after he event, it seems these new, stricter participation requirements of re-enactors are an abrupt change from previous requirements and really struck many as too much, too quick. The previous director of Fort Ti, N. Westbrook, had a much more closer...

    Fort Ti F&I "Grand" Encampment?

    Trench - take a look at the reenact or requirements to participate: http://www.fortticonderoga.org/views/media/Clash_for_Empire_Guidelines.pdf Mess to this degree with the reenactor groups that make the Grand Encampment such a great event and you'll kill the golden laying goose that...

    Fort Ti F&I "Grand" Encampment?

    Just returned from Ti - anyone care to comment on what's happened to what's been the premier F&I War event? The very obvious lack of reenactors was difficult not to notice! Aside from the usual wet conditions again this year, the sutlers row was very well represented with varied craftsmen and...

    Sons of a Trackless Forest

    Welcome to the Forum, David! Very few copies appear occasionally for sale in the $250 - $300 range. Last one I saw was on the CLA site and it was quickly snatched up, even at those prices. I've seen a copy at one of the CLA shows, as well. The Scurlock's have posted on their site that Mark...
