MarkG Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 So if I have read this correctly, all firearms will have flash guards? Including pistols? I just want to make sure I am reading that correctly. Another item that has me somewhat confused (not that it affects me, I ask from curiousity), is the 1675 to 1730 reproduction weapons. Does that mean Brown Besses and Charlevilles with metal ramrods will not be allowed? As the metal ramrod was for the most part a 1740 or later addition to these styles of weapons? I ask these questions only because in previous years, these rules had been interpreted with some flexibility (i.e. flashguards were not required on pistols or long arms if one was not firing in "closed" formation), and also because many of the early style weapons (particularly the English/Jacobean style locks which are popular in this time frame) can not be fitted with a flash guard. Related questions - a snaphaunce has a disk on the end of the pan that acts as a flash guard. It also makes it impossible to add additional flashguard. Is this sufficient?

Sea Horse Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 Ahoy mates, Just joining the fray now, been busy with other ventures. Glad to be back on the forum. I have a sourse for flashguards and hammerstalls. Many of you know them, MVTCo. $3 a piece. Should be able to get them in time. They attach to the frizzen screw.

Mission Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Ah! So nothing will be mailed this year? (Just to make it crystal clear for everyone.) No nothing will be mailed! Thanks! I know this will probably be something of a pain in the neck, but would it be possible for those receiving these things to post the names of the folks whose apps you have received from board members? I think the mail is estimated to be able to deliver 99.4% of the material they received, but...you know. It would be nice to have receipt confirmed and all.

Sea Horse Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Just curious what the count is now for the encampment. I want to pass along the information to some of the Ft. Lauderdale crews who were considering camping. If the roster is full I want them to have time to make other plans. Sea Horse No one has heard of me because I never left any witnesses.

Capt. Sterling Posted October 14, 2009 Share Posted October 14, 2009 Well you can check out the first page of the Roll Call thread right here in the PiP area...or contact Fayma, whose information is right at the top of Poop Deck thread...she would be the one who has the most accurate numbers. I would recommend calling her as soon as you can in order to get any space you may need...

It would be nice to have receipt confirmed and all. mayhaps it would be easier to combine the Roll Call, footprints and this thread as one. Since William has gone to the trouble of building a roster, perhaps we could just highlight the names in green if registration is received, along with their tent footprint. Just for the record...

Capt. Sterling Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Still waiting to hear back to see if Fayma even has the time to tackle this..and most of the footprints have already been sent in, so I can't see all the extra work...perhaps next time, "I being shot through the left cheek, the bullet striking away great part of my upper jaw, and several teeth which dropt down the deck where I fell...

Capt. Sterling Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Honestly, I can't see it being a major issue if paper work does not arrive. I am sure Fayma will have extra forms at registration and we know from the roll call and footprints that them missing paperwork were actually intending to go.

Mission Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 If the space is limited and registration might fill up (as I believe has been suggested), will people sent their stuff in on time but it didn't arrive still be given a camping spot? That's where I see there being a problem for those sent in their forms and who want space at the fort. There should be some kind of verification for folks if they're dealing with limited space.

Lily Alexander Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Mission, the issue is camping space not overall registration. Just from the pub, there is roughly 115 prospective campers. As we all know, there will be some that won't be able to make it for various reasons and there are still other groups attending that aren't on the pub and are dealing directly with Fayma and/or the BIB's. The main reason for the tent footprints was so they could advocate a larger area for us to camp. When it gets to the point where space is full, I'm sure they will let us know. Fayma is aware of your concerns, just be patient and give Fayma a chance to respond.

Mission Posted October 15, 2009 Share Posted October 15, 2009 Thanks for the info! In fact, I don't really care about registration for my part, other than getting a gate pass so I can be around after hours and such. Since I'm staying in a hotel, camping is not a concern for me. I'm just thinking of what other people may want to know. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?"

Iron Jon Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 What with moving and everything I also missed the post about sending in out registrations by the 1st. Did anyone ever come up with a fax number so we can send them directly to the Fort if possible?

Fayma Callahan Posted November 3, 2009 Author Share Posted November 3, 2009 Ok, folks, you can all settle down. I will post a listing of the registrations that have been received. If you have not mailed it yet, please do so, so that the count for the Park Service will be as accurate as possible. It will just make my life easier if I have the forms ahead of time. The deadline of November 1 was designed to assist in a timely paper trail for this. I am not going to EVER exclude someone who's registration was received prior to the event. We are tight on space, but not so tight that we cannot work around the USPS. I have already compiled the list so far, and will be reconciling it with the Roll Call prior to posting. Don't worry, and try not to panic, believe it or not, in only a few weeks, we will be at PiP!! Everything is going as smoothly as can be expected in a large group event, and there will be places for everyone. Gotta Run...Phone again...more pyrates to help...Hurry PiP...I need a HUG!! http://picasaweb.google.com/jamesacallahan100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
