    Soldiers And Militia Getting Burnt While Shooting Flintlocks?

    I would concur that flashguards were not around then. A couple of thoughts on how it was done 'back then'...and why we seem to need these silly modern flashguards to keep our faces from getting scorched off. One of the issues is over-priming. I think as a rule, most of the reenacting soldiers...

    CVA Kentucky?

    I picked up one of those many moons ago... it was about a month after Ted Belue published his infamous "how to age and distess a musket" article in Muzzleloader Magazine.
