Historical reenactment

[Tourblanche]

In historical re-enactment , we obviously do not use lead , but we do burn a lot of (black) powder

1750- 1760 ( seven years war ) is the most popular time period here on east Canada/USA border









but we also re-enact older time period of our history

1704





1669

Very Nice Tourblanche,
It looks like everyone is having a lot of fun in those videos.

Fun and also interesting contacts between Americans , Native Americans and us french speaking Québecois .
sharing our common history and learning from good craftmen , since a lot of gear is home made
including guns .

History and guns, all at the same time. What more could a person ask for?

Food !

Period correct recipes , of course .

More seriously , I wonder if people on this forum know that a lot of historical reproductions
that we use are made in India ?

I was unaware of this. What is the quality of these arms like and are they priced close to US/Canadian made muskets?

[Tourblanche]

They are no work of art , as they are repro of military guns anyway , but a very good
deal , a lot of steel and wood for your dollar .

As they come un proofed , flashole not drilled , Europeans have them proofed locally





As there are no official proof office in USA and Canada , we have to proof them ourselves .
Some dealers do it for extra fee .
