Yesterday I decided that nobody was going to return my missing original Brown Bess (after 25 years) so, if I wanted to make some smoke and fire, I'd better get off my phat ash and get a replacement. I've ordered a Pendersoli 1763 Leger Charleville. My house was built in 1749 and the Bess was part of the house furnishings. I've got some experience with cap and ball pistols and I have my great uncle's .44-77 Remington #1 (unfortunately, not a Hepburn) and a few other goodies in my safe. This is my first wandering into any kind of forum, so please excuse me if I stumble around before I get my sea legs. I will also be asking a lot of questions about smooth bore shooting. Well ,that's all I've got for now. HOWDY, HELLO, GLAD TO MEET YOU!
Some would say that I'm older than dirt

Howdy Nit Wit, Where abouts in Maine? I hale from Georgetown (mid-coast). Spent 20+ years as a tinknocker at the yard building destroyers. Always fascinated with flintlocks but never yet got to shoot one. Hoping my Pedersoli arrives soon so that I may rectify that and that the war department doesn't find out how much I spent on it! (She won't mind because I sold a boat that we weren't using anymore and she's a great person too boot!)

Welcome from Virginia. Building a Pedersoli Charlesville myself at this time. Curious to hear your build experience. Should be a bit easier than putting together a DDG!

A real shame about your missing Brown Bess but good luck with your new incoming musket. “War Department” approved

Welcome from East TN
Welcome, and sorry to hear about the loss of the Bess. Sounds like you are getting back on the horse, though.
