    Le Kentucky Combats

    He lived in New Jersey, where he lived in exile for a time after Waterloo and the fall of France.

    Alatriste

    Yup, seen it before. It's a pretty good movie and a pretty good series of novels as well. The movie is kind of a mishmash of all of them.

    Rubber wadding???particulzrl

    True. Considering after I posted that I came upon a reference to Brown Bess "rifles" in the book tells me all I need to know about the author.

    Rubber wadding???particulzrl

    But would that affect the recoil at all?

    Rubber wadding???particulzrl

    I wondered that myself. Maybe the author just didn't know the terminology, which says something about their research. (and I have no idea how "particulzrl" got at the end of my subject line!)

    Rubber wadding???particulzrl

    I know this is probably a stupid question but I was reading a particularly bad historical novel that takes place in 1802. One of the characters was using a Nock gun said he used rubber wadding to lessen recoil. It didn't make sense to me. Now, numerous other historical facts are wrong in the...

    Hawkeye?

    This isn't that series. This was made in the 1990s. It's not bad though and no trapdoor Springfields that I could see!

    Man in the Wilderness

    I've seen that vid and was impressed by it. They proved the musket was more accurate out to 100 yards than generally believed and could be shot faster. They're part of the 95th Rifles though I think they're out of Australia, not Canada.

    India made smoothbore flintlock pistol

    I picked up the heavy dragoon (the pistol that preceded the Elliot, it's longer than the Elliot) from Flintlock Repair in Nov. or Dec. I'm happy with it. Sparks well, no delay in ignition and reasonably accurate on man-sized targets even out to 20 yards (though only five more yards and accuracy...

    standardized M1777 and hunting history

    Exactly. When armies were on the march soldiers were basically on their own for finding food. Foraging parties would often go quite far from their parent unit raiding farms and stealing domestic animals. If they could find game they would shoot it but as several people have noted, large bodies...

    Are used traditionals common in your area?

    I did the same thing last year, asking specifically about flintlocks. I called most of the shops I could find numbers for in VT and NH (except the two dealers in Indian made flintlocks, Middlesex and Flintlock Repair, who obviously have them) and found only one flintlock--a TVM lefthanded rifle.

    Tulle

    I don't know. Except for the rear sight to me it looks exactly like an Indian Tulle. Maybe a more knowledgeable person than me can look at the pics and say. The auction is on gunbroker, the only Tulle listed. Anyone?

    Tulle

    I see the auction. That looks like one of the ones sold by Flintlock Repair or Veteran Arms, though the wedding bands are slightly different. The price now is good but the buy it now price is absurd--$995! New these sell for $600 so keep that in mind when bidding.

    Bad movies

    Great movie. It's true about cherry picking. There are snippets of dialogue or scenes from quite a few of the books. I'll be reading one of the books and suddenly come across a scene that was in the movie. I'm sure they could do another with other scenes though. Supposedly Russel Crowe really...

    Bad movies

    I felt the same way about LOTM when I first saw it. I hated it the first time I saw it because of the liberties they took with the book (killed wrong girl, killed Munro, made Major Hayward into an idiot), which I had read not long before seeing the movie. I like it much more now as it has been...

    Rear sight, I may have killed the magic

    Funny, I just put my rear sight back on my Tulle yesterday after an afternoon of putting 20 rounds through that were not up to par. It came with a homemade peep sight that was dead on and which I kept on long enough to train myself to put my cheek in the same spot every time to automatically...

    Traditional muzzleloading on the wane?

    Comparing it to the N-word is way overboard. What if you're referring to the Vancouver Canucks NHL team? What about the rugby team? Canucks is not a derogatory term in Canada.

    Traditional muzzleloading on the wane?

    Actually Canada is nowhere near as bad as Britain and Australia on this issue, at least when it comes to long guns and even handguns are possible to get. In one respect Canada is worse than Britain though and that is regulating repro flintlock pistols. Canada treats them (and wheelocks and...

    French Rifles

    Here is an original AN. XII rifle. Looks like a beauty. They seem to have had the angled brass flash pan of the AN. IX modified 1777 muskets and the pistols of the era. It looks somewhat like the Baker rifle. the An. XIII rifle

    "Turn" on AMC
