Brown Bess Builders?
« on: March 26, 2023, 11:23:32 PM »
Do any custom makers build authentic and historically correct Brown Bess muskets?

The repros from India and Italy don’t impress me much and I’d like a higher end custom piece. Originals are too valuable or fragile to shoot much.

Thoughts?

I used to make them. I'm sure any good builder on here would make you one if you supplied the parts and the right money.
