: : Thanks for the nice words.  That musket sounds interesting.  1st, 2nd or 3rd model brown bessie?  Who is making it for you?  I'm curious.  If I were to venture a guess I would say, what?  1st model?

: I'm looking at either a 1st model or possibly  the officers model .65 caliber Bess (by North Star West).

: I'm not sure the maker of the 1st model, I'm dealing with a former reenactor buddy, who is a firearms dealer & told me about some museum quality 1st models (says you couldnt tell the difference from originals!). I trust his judgement ;-)
: Once I find out I'll let you know.

: 1st model would be a great choice, since the Loyalists units were not typically issued the latest model,  especially early in the Rev' War (our clothing date is 1777).

: I have a question about Killdeer I hope you can answer, since your privy to the original plans, what school of riflemaking does Killdeer represent, or is it a little of this--a little of that?
: Some of its elements remind me of Dickert (etc), & I was curious
: about that.

: Again, great looking rifle, hope to add one to my collection one of these days (soon)!
