the Royaliste Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Just picked up a new to me sidearm, good working order(not ancient),with a darned nifty 'flip' bayonet.......
Wartooth Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Nice piece. Now how about some details? Price? Where'd you get her? Wartooth
the Royaliste Posted January 27, 2005 Author Posted January 27, 2005 Nice piece. Now how about some details? Price? Where'd you get her? Wartooth Well, let's see...I'm smithing a 1750's era longrifle, so I went online to order a tang screw, some inletting silver sheet, and some balls..Then wot do I see but this freshly listed, 'one of a kind' jewel here, so I clicked 'add to cart'....around 350.00, from Track of the Wolf..seems to be indian made, as I have the same wood and lock on another blunderbuss.....50 cal. barrel, .75 cal. bell.....I'll let ya know how she fires in a week or so, whenever the ups guy shows up.......
Duncan McGuyver Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Nice looking piece - I like the bayonet :) Captain Duncan McGuyver Crew Of The Vigilant Baltimore Maryland Based 17th & 18th Century Naval Living History Crew Of The Vigilant The Juryrig MDRF Based Social & Renfaire Crew The Juryrig Port Tortuga A Piracy based Pennsic household B09 Block, The Highlands (Up Hill & Left) Port Tortuga
Wartooth Posted January 27, 2005 Posted January 27, 2005 Hey ... as long as she fires true, that's a darn good price. Is that bayonet edged? Wartooth
the Royaliste Posted January 28, 2005 Author Posted January 28, 2005 I imagine it'll do as well as a 6 1/2 inch barrel'll do!..The bayonet is triangulated, like a Chinese SKS....nasty 'lil bugger, eh?
hurricane Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 That is indeed a wickedly wonderful arm. I'll be interested to see how she performs. After you fire it can you stab someone to let me know how the blade is too? -- The Captain -- Hurricane ______________________________________________________________________ http://piratesofthecoast.com/images/pyracy-logo1.jpg Captain of The Pyrates of the Coast Author of "Memoirs of a Buccaneer: 30 Year Before the Mast" (Published in Fall 2011) Scurrilous Rogue Stirrer of Pots Fomenter of Mutiny Bon Vivant & Roustabout Part-time Carnival Barker Certified Ex-Wife Collector Experienced Drinking Companion "I was screwed.

the Royaliste Posted January 28, 2005 Author Posted January 28, 2005 The interesting part will be trying to keep my first mate from pryin' paint can lids off with it!!.....or reaming out carrronade touch-holes... ..As far as firing, I lean towards very light loads in my brass barrels, in comparison to my steel barrels; had the wonderful experience in 1973 of having a brass barrel come apart ....really interesting, it was!...It literally looked like an 'Acme' product from a Wiley Coyote invention
HarborMaster Posted January 28, 2005 Posted January 28, 2005 Awesome heater ya got there ! Good looking piece indeed. I do believe however Capn' Glens got it set - up the other way around......, If I am correct., the design is for Royaliste to stabbem' first between thee eyes, then pull the trigger there by blowin' the victim free of is weapon aye ?
