Stynky Tudor Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 Oh, I love the Syke's Sutlery's web site! I just wish I could afford everything I want from there, a bandolier, a dozen or so bottles, a matchlock rifle, a rifle stand. But fer now I'll just have to be happy with replica pistols. I have been thinking about turning some faux bottles on the lath... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michaelsbagley Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 This question came up on another forum as well, and got me to thinking, I need a set and preferably by the beginning of March. Sykes is aparently back ordered (6+ months wait). I will be looking to place my order mid-January, anyone know a source that I can rely on receiving these from by the end of February? I'd prefer to avoid ordering from overseas (as I know England has a fair number of sources for these), but if I see a strong enough endorsement for an overseas vendor that is good about rurnaround and shipping times, I would consider it. Cheers, and thanks in advacne for any help or advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red-Handed Jill Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I've been looking for them as well. I've contacted both the gent in the UK and Sykes and have yet to even get a reply. So I'd be really interested to hear how I can get either of these vendors to actually sell me a set of these. Eyes - think I'll be contacting your friend - I hope he's more communicative than either of those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hurricane Posted December 25, 2008 Share Posted December 25, 2008 I inquired some time ago with Sykes and wanted to order some. But he replied they were 120 grains each. So I went with the Willie's solution because they hold and exact charge of 65 for my gun - all I need for the pan and the barrel. At PiP I was shooting 2 to 1 with them on the line -- plus they are sized to pour right into the barrel without a spill.

sutlerjon Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 I'm just about ready to debut the ones I'm making. I need some ideas for the size of the bag that goes with the bandolier. Soon's I get the cap to my satisfaction I'll be ready to go into production, if I get some interest. once I have one I'm happy with I'll post a picture.

sutlerjon Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 (edited) I'm 95% OK with this model, just picked up brass for the sleeve and finally got some nice soft mat'l for the shot bag. Bandolier and shot bag will be a little bit longer but I'm getting there, (now lets see if I can put the pic in.....while I'm at it check out the new lantern design......) The new lantern is the one on the left. Huzzah...I did it!

sutlerjon Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 I'm not gonna be Searles we'll be at Tallahasse, Natural Bridge Battlefield. What's that some of you may be askin' yerselves? I'm gonna make a prediction (like a likkered up Nostadamus) about 150 years from now a new nation will be founded on the landmass that lies to NW of where we now sail, this nation will be built on natural resources like tobacco, corn and taxes for the King and after being thankful for the smoking section that was conceived in liberty, etc, etc, it will break away from the Crown ! This nation will leave England because it will be overtaxed and the people will be tea'd off about it and after a party the New England patriots will bring forth a more perfect union. Then about 4 score and 7 years after that the more perfect Union will invade the Southern Consorts because they'll believe that they have more sway with the Crown again because of the natural resources... I'm gettin' tired and this is gettin kinda circular ain't it? Anyway in about 340 years I'll be at Tallahasee once again defendin the only state capital that the more perfect union didn't sack (like Panama City.... that was for you Hurricane ... er ...Cap'n Morgan) Back to the original subject, just send me a PM and I'll happily divulge my cell # or e-mail and we can make arrangements to get together. I'm not too far from ya'll in central Fl and I'll be all over the stae in the next 3 mos. doin the CW circuit Thanks for readin, Jim Self Promoter Jim Pirate Gear oldsutlerjohn.biz American Civil War oldsutlerjohn.net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutlerjon Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Here's some pics of a batch I'm working on now. This one I made from a dead branch in the backyard I believe it's Magnolia. Lots of branches from the tropical storms leftover in the yard by the last owners. the coloring is unusual.

Animal Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Very nice, Sutlerjon!!! Any idea what charge they hold? Animal Buccaneer - Services to the highest bidder!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutlerjon Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 The brass sleeve on this batch is being cut to hold 120 grains, with the way I'm makin' 'em I can customize the charge for a specific need. They all hold way more powder than I'm used to makin' rounds for. In CW we typically use 60 gr, that's what I've makin' pre rolled rounds for the last 10 years. But as I said whatever the weapon needs that's what I can do.
