    Jaeger Barrel?Blue or Brown

    I'm very interested to hear what others have to says about this as well because I'm getting ready to invest in my next fire stick and leaning very heavily toward a jaeger (truth be known, I'm finished leaning - it's a done deal :winking: ). That's a nice looking gun. Was it a kit and do you...

    How many of you fine folk make it out to Dixon's?

    We need to "hook up". I moved from the area of Allentown, PA back in October. I miss Dixon's already. Like 1776Patriot said, I would go there sometimes just to "hang out" with Chuck and get pointers. I'm starting to feel those withdrawal pains. Sure wish there was someplace like that around...

    Installing a flashguard on a bridle-less frizzen

    I very recently had the same problem on a gun I just finished. It was on an L&R lock. I too have the Continental Line issue to deal with. If you refer back to your original picture, what I did was drill and tap a hole in the lock just below the pan (in that blank space you see in your...

    Re-enactments/re-enactors in the St. Louis area?

    The October date sounds like a good one. Are there any links to the event? Actually, now that I've looked at my schedule, the November event works also. I'm hoping to make it back to the east coast for an event at Fort Mifflin on 12-13.

    Re-enactments/re-enactors in the St. Louis area?

    Mike, Thanks for the links to the different groups. I was afraid I was going to have to either go cold turkey :shocking: travel long distances back to the east coast. Neither of which is a good choice. I'll probably lean toward one of the civilian militia units as that's what I do now. I...

    Jaeger barrel lenght ?

    While reading the posts to this thread, I've seen a number of references to "transitional guns". I haven't heard that term used before. What exactly is a transitional gun?

    Questions about building a persona

    I'm with a reenactment group that is active in both F&I and rev-war events. My question is, do any of you carry multiple persona to fit two different times or have you developed one that is usable over that 30-40 time line? The thought I've always had was to portray a German immigrant...

    Newbie...Can I build a beauty or have one built ??

    "I doubt that you can have any rifle that has to be built in time to take hunting this fall. " A true statement. Figure on at least 100 hours on average. And that's if you have your own tools. The gun I'm building (my first one by the way) has taken way over 100 hours because I'm being...

    How light is your rifle

    I'm thinking of getting a jaeger for my next bp gun (you can never have too many toys). I've shot them before in re-enactments and enjoyed it. Any suggestions on where to get a good one. Is yours a single or double trigger? I've seen them both ways, but mostly double. Do you know which is...

    Re-enactments/re-enactors in the St. Louis area?

    I'm supposed to be getting transferred to the St. Louis area sometime this year and was just wondering if anybody knew what kind of F & I and/or Rev war activities or groups there might be in that area? I don't know if I'm going to be able to go "cold turkey" from the best hobby in the whole...

    Small world. We probably passed each other a number of times that day. I was there with a friend of mine and my daughter. I must admit though, I was kind of disappointed at the low number of sutlers. I saw as many, if not more, at the Battle of Crooked Billet in Warminster on 4/30-5/1...

    grand encampment ticonderoga

    Are you talking about going to the grand encampment being held on the weekend of June 25th? If so, look me up. I'm with the PA State Navy (although we won't actually be the PSN that weekend). We're bringing our boat, the Hornet, to help patrol the waters, and a couple of 3 pounders to help...

    Sorry I missed that one. I joined right after it happened. Do any of you guys go to the Jacobsberg vous' up in Stockertown? Also do any of you do re-enacting or do you just hunt and target with bp?

    Ahoy the forum

    New member requests permission to come aboard. I'm in the hobby as a re-enactor with the PA State Navy out of Easton, PA. I portray a German farmer (landsman) who sometimes finds himself aboard a boat guarding the Phil. harbor, and at other times being called up as part of a militia unit...
