Capandball has just recently published a video series about two iconic muskets of the Napoleonic wars: the 1777 French and the 1798 Austrian musket. The 3 part series introduces their development, history and basic differences and similarities. The 3rd part is about the accuracy of the original service charges. He is using one of our repros in this part to do the heavy load testing.

    I can see no reason for us to become involved in Venezuela unless it invades allies on the continent. Otherwise it is to our advantage to let them deal with their problems which I doubt they are capable of fixing. After their collapse becomes total maybe they will ask for our aid. If they do we'll probably offer some help, but we can just let them work on their problems in their own way and watch what happens.

    My 1777 https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/33eb5f83c58553e305bc250046e25924e11c8517b1cc9f36fa90fc16bcdc7b06.jpg French musket is an original that came from a museum in Austria. I figure it was picked up at Waterloo. No color whatsoever. Bore is shootable, but it doesn't spark very well. I'll have to see if I can harden the frizzen and shoot it. I don't think the old gun has been shot since the battle.
