Snow and cold has never stopped these good old boys and gals from heading out into the winter woods of Montana for campfire grub and some wet firesticks. History, knowledge shared, laughs, coffee, stew, and plenty of targets to hit or miss - these are the friendly members of the FVML.

I noticed this near the very beginning of the video. A rifle with no trigger guard? I found it interesting and though perhaps you fellows with a good historical background would\could comment on rifle builds such as this?

I noticed that gun as well. I think his gun was “in the white” stage of building and he was out with it for function testing before putting a trigger guard and the final finish on it.

Looks like a great time with fine folks.Who is that lovely young lady? I thought for
a couple of seconds she was the young history teacher I've been helping since July,
2018. VERY similar faces.

I thought that was well, but there is no trigger guard inletting done. Of course.....that could be "in the white" as you stated.

Regarding the Fusil you see, yes it is in the white and he was out function testing. Beautiful workmanship for sure. The lovely woman is none other than my wife, making me the luckiest man on earth.

Lucky Guy

I thought it looked like a trade gun. Maybe a NW gun or earlier type G. There may not be any inletting required for the trigger guard. I ought to watch again

Almost ha ha. She has glasses but was not wanting to use them. I joke with her about using echo location like a bat to find her way around.

Thanks for sharing these good times with us. Much appreciated!

Denny, good to see you out enjoying that beautiful Montana winter...I’ve been missing your exploits on Instagram. From the look on her face, your lovely bride has discovered that even though “wheelguns are real guns”, “flintlocks rule”.

Always enjoy the videos. Wish we had shoots like that here in Tennessee. We have a monthly match but all we do is shoot paper. Y'all's matches look like real fun.

I feel the same Denny. And she is lovely. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

Oh, and you Westerners have some cool getups. I enjoyed seeing all the ways the guys tethered their measures.

That was an awesome video ! I loved seeing all the bags and accessories and standing around the fire looked very inviting ! I did rendezvous's for some time, but just have gotten too old for it anymore and the old bod just keeps complaining about the work involved. You seem to have a great group of shooters and as usual with something like this...I'll bet a bunch of really nice people...

Late as usual but dang that looks like people having fun. Would love to have been there. Thanks for posting.

PS: Probably would have been a close pick, Friendship, shooting or eating

More likely a combination of all three. The layout looks nice too. TC
