Thx for that old comment about your outfits

Website.

The links were very useful when it came to finding gear.

But what about guns????

Where could I get a good reproduction

Model?????

Regardless of price

@ussr??????

[ussr19411945]

@GameFreak5001 fall creek sutler sells good muskets regimental quartermaster sells them to for 600 or go to gun shows and you might fing an original for a good price

[97yankeeboy]

were did you get your kepi from or were would you recomendto get one? also were did you get your wheel cap?

[ussr19411945]

@97yankeeboy the best plays es to get them from is ww co but sens you are still growing get them cheep so when you get big buy them from ww co or dirty billy

[salamonetalton]

[President2037]

Cool video! I volenteer as a soilder in a reenactment at my local museum.... and I am 11 so i am the flag guy for the union!

[lojafan]

Sweet. Ohio state jacket is useful for western too.

[ussr19411945]

@lojafan thanks i might get one now becuz im geting a ohio haversack

[lojafan]

@ussr19411945 I would strongly suggest getting one. Everyone in the western theater had them. You can get a kit from Wambaugh, White and Company for around $200 and they use the best quality materials for them.

[lojafan]

Your also using a 7 rivot scabbard for early war? Farb, farb, farb...

[ussr19411945]

@lojafan i dont reeinact erley war i reeinact western theiter 1863 t0 1865 and i have a two rivot scabord now 

[lojafan]

Not all Union soldiers were issued sack coats.

I want to get into the Seminole reenactment next time. I need to save some money though because that's stuff is hardcore expensive. Thanks for the video.

[ussr19411945]

@PrinceofMacedon i would love to reenact that war to i have a u.s. mexican american war uniform it is the same thing

. but i live in michigan but it would be worth the drive what faction are you thinking of reenacting u.s. or seminole coz i would do u.s. i do know sutlers that sell stuff not to costley and if your looking for a musket tray middlesex trading co becuz perosoli is realy expesof

[marshaljamesroloff]

@ussr19411945 i know you from empire total war lol but i live in Nebraska, it would be a little ways for you, but there's several reenactments i go to that are in Iowa. most others i know of are down south though.
