Let's discuss: Reenacting!

[Duuring]

Irish Brigade, Federal. Still had smoothbore old-style muskets.

There's a difference between smoothbores and flinklocks

[Forest]

Flintlock simply has to do with the lock of the weapon and the means by which it was fired. I think he was simply just comparing the standard civil war caplock rifled muskets to the older flintlocks.

Thanks for that ,

Flintlocks? Definitely Confederate early war volunteer.

I think a Charleville would fit better than a Bess.

Deo are you going to Rebels and Redcoats in Mass in August?

[joer5835]

Oooo I'd love to, I'm in Illinois, so it's bit hard. I'm getting into rev war soon as 4th CT, the unit occassionally travels to east coast for several events. I'll let ye know.

[Ted]

Anyone going to Leipzig and/or Austerlitz this year? I'll be at Leipzig for sure, but I'm not sure if I got enough time to visit Austerlitz also.

[Vorposten]

I will be at Leipzig.

[joer5835]

Way too far away for me, going to neither of those. Besides, what on earth would we I doing there as a Dutch soldier.

[Duuring]

Fighting for the French or for the Russians.

[joer5835]

The French actually sound plausible.

It's funny, I do believe I'm the only one in my unit who has sympathies for the French side.
