My 7 Years War, S.W. NC. near Whiteside Mountain, Scottish Regalia & Jim Chamber's place

[Jerry Samouce]

These where taken this weekend in Asheville NC at their Botanical Garden.

The day before I was picking out my Rifle kit at Jim Chambers Rifles.

I chose the Mark Silver Virginia rifle with the swamp barrel, and English lock. (below photo)

The rest of these are Consignment Rifles they are selling averaging $5-12k each! Yikes!

I have a cousin who is a flintlock shooter who has a Jim Chambers built Isaac Haines Lancaster style rifle. Recently while attending his son's wedding in NC he was staying a few miles down the road from Chamber's shop and stopped in for a visit. Boy, was he ever excited about getting to meet the man who built one of his guns.

Good for you Jerry. I imagine that just on the garb it is involved and time consuming. I envy your location...hopefully I will be out of the northeast hell hole and join the rest of you in America...Piedmont section

2 reasons...

1. Ashville Botanical Gardens has a no firearms policy. without the lock, its just a club.
2. The lock had a bad frison and and a damaged full cock tumbler. The day before, I had left the entire Lock at Jim Chamber's shop to have it repaired.

good eye!

How are you wearing your great kilt? It doesn’t look like it’s under your coat, but doesn’t look like your skit is doubled.

Yeah it slipped... and when those roll on the ground great kilts slip you gotta take everything off, lay the 7 yard long tartan back on the ground, put the belt back under it, re pleat it and lay back down on it to get the belt on, just to hope it doesn't slip again. Sooo, I said the heck with it.

I am not sure what the top one is... (a Pennsylvania rifle?) But the second from the top is the Mark Silver Virginia Rifle and the rifle kit that I purchased because it fit me the best.... both physically and geo-historically for the NC militia Scott Patriot I plan to interpret.

 

[Pukka Bundook]

The Mark Silver kit makes a very good rifle.
Carried one for about ten years straight and always got my meat. All weathers it is thoroughly reliable.

So can you get your plaid over your shoulders when you have your coat and weskit on?
