Are there shops too buy all these clothes and weapons or do you have to order it from a online store?

Depends on the period, but I know of no live shops where you can buy re-enactment stuff  :P

Its easy to get Medieval (but look out, most of that stuff is larp bullshit) and ACW stuff. Everything else is rather hard to get. Maybe WW2 is abit easier aswell. I am not entirely sure. I never researched in that direction.

Ye, Napoleonic, and really anything 16th-19th century,must be basically hand made, or a hit and miss looking at sutlers

There's a trader I won't name that my group sometimes does events for, sad thing is they're increasingly stocking crap for gothic tat collectors.

Plenty of LARP stuff too but I've not got a real issue with that, it's not really hard to tell apart, especially with group advice to guide you.
Crawling back to you,
Ever thought of calling when you've had a few? 'cause I always do.

by far WW2 is the most cheapest hobby I ever did. Took me one year to complete my Federal kit and im halfway done with my Confederate (Need equipment, using Federals)  But as for WW2, I completed my kit in 2-3 month. I just bought a last piece  last week, a bayonet frog. That's it for equipment. Only one thing missing for me, K98.  I've spend around little bit over 600 on this kit. Unlike ACW is already worth over a thousand. XD


But I am sure Vietnam would be cheapest of all. 300 for whole kit.

Well that sucks  ;)

I've been meaning to do napoleonic as well. Thinking about the 6e Legere. But the prices of everything and the gun itself seems kinda worthless to me since the event is like 20 guys.

That reminds me, another 460 euro for the gun + bayonet..

I guess its believable to go for 2000-3000 euro to do anything napoleonic TBH.

under muskets.

Note this is the type that need drilling to make it a firearm, and then obviously you need a gun licence.

Dibs on Blunderbluss.  ;D

My 1861 Springfield here came with late war scabbard and original bayonet and leather sling as well. Got it for $650.  Unfortunately probably the last thing i'd spend over 400. Mum skinned me alive for that one. But good deal anyway, could get new one for 800 plus bayonet that is 50-70.

edit: oh by the way 'MURICA!  Didnt need any paperwork, just went on fb and bought it. He mailed it in a big box, and i took it home.

How much does the drilling cost?
