New Carbine for me.

Post by RudyN » Fri Jan 11, 2019 6:19 pm

I have an original Burnside Carbine (Civil War Era) coming and from the pictures on the website it look quite good. I do Civil War reenacting and it should make a nice display piece.

Ah, sure glad we found a Civil War re-enactor on the Forum, Rudy. I think there are a number of Folk here that would really enjoying viewing your photos in uniform, of your firearms, and maybe even a video or two of any battle scenes performed.

Tell us more. Do you belong to a re-enactment group? What Civil War history do you present when you all get together? Do you wear Blue or Gray? Very interesting era of U.S. history.

The FFL shop where I've done most of my firearms business, James Country Mercantile, supports many of the Civil War re-enactments in the Kansas City, MO and Lawrence, KS areas. It describes its business as a "sutlery offering a full line of historically accurate goods, custom sewing, research, consultation, and associated services." Although the shop isn't a person as was a sutlery, it's a cool connection. I've spent quite a bit of time looking through their large variety of Civil War stuff, including many of the firearms they service and sell there.

Living practically on the state lines of KS and MO, there are a lot of chances nearby to see Civil War re-enactments. One I'd like to visit someday is here in northwest MO, and is called the "Missouri Irish Brigade of Civil War Reenactors." Their web site lists their purpose:
"A living history organization founded in 1995 to portray the Irish and western federal soldiers of the often overlooked Missouri Irish Brigade. Our field impression is of the Consolidated Battalion 7th and 30th Missouri volunteers, a veteran unit as it appeared during the fall of 1864."
I might check it out this year. Looks like they do some cool stuff.

Thanks for your post. Looking forward to hearing more about your re-enactment hobby.

I finally received it and it sure looks like it will be ok to fire, however since it is over 150 years old maybe it will only be fired once or twice. I will just have to see how it goes.
