You know my thoughts… this is not a gun I was issued. It’s bad enough that I have $800 in MY pedersoli. I’d flip out to mess up a dead-on balls accurate one. Where do you draw the line? I can see both sides. It’s a hobby. Hobbies are supposed to be fun. If it’s not fun, why do it? I’m not all...

Oh, I’ve seen his other stuff. But again, not everyone can RS kits. There has to be a happy medium.

Lots of guys just can’t build a RS kit. And many just don’t have that kind of time. Something that would be nice is a way to get better parts to update one’s current gun. You said that the rs stuff is too big for a pedersoli Bess. What can one do? I know Ethan from 11 Bang Bang uses RS parts...

maybe sharing those would help someone. That kind of thing is great for the hobby.

Also exactly. What I like about Dave Persons and yourself, is that you are willing and try to help others. That is one of the best parts of the hobby.

Because some folks want to criticize and need someone to sneer at. Like in any hobby.

Exactly so!

Why are you so mean and argumentative? It’s attitudes like yours that turn people off our hobby. And I’ve been reenacting since 1989 (not counting shooting black powder since 1979 or so). You need to look at what you write and say.

It would be nice. Still, how much would pedersoli charge? How accurate would it be? You’ve told me that the pedersoli Bess is more kite a 7/8ths scale… will they do it right or, go the cheap route? I wish there was a decent replacement stock for Indian guns (and pedersoli)… and some way to just...

I have. I met him. I showed him my pedersoli Brown Bess defarb. He gave approval and suggested a couple of more things — on my list to do. Dave is a nice guy and he’s someone that helps others. What do you do besides sneer at people? Who are you to criticize someone because all they can afford...

If you feel that way, you should stay out of our hobby. Take up doll collecting or beanie babies. No one is perfect. No is issued anything. There is no “boot camp” to train them. They do this as volunteers — many times having to sacrifice to buy kit. Yet, you sneer at them. I think that is the...

To you. That is an opinion. You do not get to choose for others. I don’t think you understand the hobby.

Not true at all. However, they are also not all rich. And, who in their right mind is going to take $3500 custom musket out in the field to thrash on it. And yeah, that happens. There are many types of reenactors who reenact for many different reasons. Some are interested in clothing, some in...

It takes some practice to learn a new skill. You can do it.

Since I stumbled onto a stash of Lehigh Patch Lube, I’m set until I croak. Then I will have them mix what’s left with my ashes.

Never had that happen. Here’s your answer: Black. Powder. Gunsmith. Them’s is the folks what get paid to do that kinda thing.

He’s already said a Bess in his video… that would be what sells — not some Schangal gun.

Really? He was? Do you know that or read it in a comic book. Did you know he’s was in it and when he found out what they were up to, he quit it and said “boys take off sheets and go home”.

I didn’t say I did it. It’s my brother’s recipe 😜

Also, Leigh Valley patch lube… I scored 5 bottles. I’m good until I die.
