Armorer's tools inventory list

[WESTbury]

Attached is the original 1776 inventory of the Armourer on board the Pennsylvania ship Montgomery. It lists all of the tools used to maintain the arms of the of the ship. A cleaned up version is available on line at the link below. I thought the rifle builders on the forum would be interested in some of the tools available in 1776 for longarms.

Interesting. Figured out most items but not all. Terminology has changed.
