    Friends,

    As some members here know, I'm a new "living history docent" at our Alamo Shrine & for a local museum.

    I'm looking for a USED but functional FLINTLOCK musket, fowler or "plain Jane" country rifle to use as part of my TX "dirt-farmer"/militiaman impression. - What I'd really like to find is something like a Brown Bess or Charleyville FL musket that LOOKS like "it's been through several wars".
    (Fwiw, the vast majority of TX Revolution militiamen were POOR & could not afford a "fancy" longarm. - In 1830-45, the Bess or Charlieville muskets were readily available, very cheap to buy & worked about as well, with round ball or shot, as most other flinters did.)

    IF you have (or know of) such a used/serviceable flintlock longarm for sale, please email me with photos/price. = texasnative46@gmail.com

    THANKS, satx

    Texan-in-Training,

    SORRY but NOTHING made by Thompson Center is authentic enough to be accepted for "living history" by the curator of The Alamo Shrine. = Most of the "factory makers" are similarly forbidden.

    THANKS anyway, satx
