Just bought finally my own musket ! My regiment helped me for fundings of course.

It's a 1777 (an IX) Pedersoli

Awesome. Make sure to leave it uncocked though, don't ruin your spring.

And please don't let it rest on the ramrod. Pedersoli ramrods are horrible, their tip is very weak and breaks off very quickly. It just happened to Admirals gun, and on on mine, it is already slightly loose and wobbly (which is why I exchanged mine with a India ramrod).

[Cara]

Thanks !
I know these problems from my fellow comrades... I have already planned to replace the ramrod

And don't worry, these pics are those of the seller on naturabuy, not in my appartement :p

That's pretty good looking for a second hand gun.

But take my advise, get a damn flashguard. It might not be historically accurate, but at least you won't be constantly burning other people's necks.

[Duuring]

Getting a flashguard shouldn't even been up to debate.

Indeed, the guy fired with only 50 times and didn't bring it in our rainy battlefields !

Thanks you both for your advice, I'm considering it.

Someone should really make a list of reenactment stores, it could be very useful.

I found a pretty nice site which sells all kinds of WW2 uniforms and etc. http://www.epicmilitaria.com/

[joer5835]

Pretty sure there was one on the forums somewhere. Dunno where that has gone.

Slipped into the darkness known as 'the 2nd page'.

Due to the monetary crisis 

Tbh i'm buying a new "bonnet de police" and some guetres but it's not worth publishing.
