1stMate Matt Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 One of my main sword dealers is now carrying some fire arms too. All I know is that they come in a kit and someone up north is putting them together for them. I asked if he would be into trading some swords for a few and the first one I am into is the big boy. I was hoping someone might be able to identify the kit and if it is decent. I do trust my dealer and he syas they fire great and that he has one himself that he often uses. I just thought I would ask. I have plenty of black powder firearms but this would be my first blunderbuss. Any info would help. If it is as nice as I hope, I plan on getting several and customizing them. Adding some gems here or some engraving there. Just hoping its a good enough starting point.

Graydog Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 That appears to be the Middlesex Village Trading Companie Doglock Blunderbuss for $495. However, their website doesn't list it as a kit. It does not look like busses for sale on either the Loyalist or Discriminating General websites. Regardless, here's the link to this particulair buss on the Middlesex site: Middlesex Village 1690's Blunderbuss Why am I sharing my opinion? Because I am a special snowflake who has an opinion of such import that it must be shared and because people really care what I think! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1stMate Matt Posted March 4, 2009 Author Share Posted March 4, 2009 Yea I think I will go ahead and get one just to see how nice I can customize it. If it turns out how I hope then I will be customizing quite a few I think. -1st Mate of Pirates Magazine -Bladesmith/Owner of That Works Studio http://youtube.com/thatworks thatworks.shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hey... I've always view the India made guns as "kits in the White".... the finish sux... so you gotta re-do that.... and well a little bit of file work to make it different than everyone else's..... we're not playing military issue.....(where all Pyrates were issued the same guns....that sorta thing...) I really liked the muzzle ring on my buss..... but it looked just like everyone else's so i ground it off..... Also, be warned..... some of the springs are way too stiff, so you will have to work on them..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartermaster James Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 I'd love to re-do one of those with a pistol grip! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
