    I'd like to get some opinions on a matter

    I think that scope on there looks cool, it reminds me of the old civil war documentaries depicting sharpshooters at Devil's Den or the sharpshooter who shoots General Reynolds in the Gettysburg Movie.

    FOR SALE Civil war Big man gear/ loaner gear.

    I believe this is posted in the wrong thread unless you are trading all of this for a firearm.

    I'd like to get some opinions on a matter

    That rifle looks pretty cool with the scope on it kinda like something youd see an Independent Company of Sharpshooters carry. My Great Great Grandfather when he mustered out of the 2nd Maryland Infantry due to wounds in 1864 was enrolled into the State Militia and there are photographs of men...

    Jaeger Rifle or Long Rifle ?

    The state of Maryland made illegal all hunting of fowl with a bore larger than 10 in 1834 so what is 10 gauge now is the biggest allowable since 1834. The 4 bore was made in 1831 in England.

    Jaeger Rifle or Long Rifle ?

    Do you own a Jaeger personally if so what caliber do you reccomend? Also do mean it matters for accuracy and range or just the whole bumping things into and transporting issues ?

    Jaeger Rifle or Long Rifle ?

I was able shoulder only 5 flintlocks. Only 2 were rifles the rest all Pedersoli Muskets. One was a Pedersoli Mortimer which...

    Civil War era percussion rifles are always good looking. Definitely want an original Tower Enfield one of these days or a repro Whitworth Rifle with one of those Brass scopes that good from one end of the rifle to the other. But for now a simple flintlock will do me. Thanks for sharing the...

    .40 caliber is the legal minimum caliber for Maryland thanks for the breakdown of what I'll need like the vent pick didn't even know that was and thing. I need to do some brushing up on all the things I'll need to care for the muzzleloader.
