Fix your gear…
About three years ago, I broke the wrist on my Brown Bess Musket while doing a demonstration as a Volunteer in the Park at Valley Forge. I tried to epoxy the pieces but that proved to be a temporary fix. I bought a new stock but never got around to getting the tooling needed to carve and fit the musket furnishings so it sat in my closet, derelect.
In the interim, I purchased and used a musket from Access Heritage in Canada to do reenacting and demos. It actually took a lot of work to get it up and functional and its okay but doesn’t have that “solid” feel that the Pedersoli from 1977 had. This year, I bit the bullet and took it to Glen Brosius. I picked it up Saturday. The repair was expensive but the workmanship is damn good.
