flintsoft/Baker rifle

Wow! This will be amazing!

How are you getting on with this one ? I'd love to see the results.

"over the hills and far away ....."

Muzzle loading hopefully ?

"over the hills and far away ....."

Muzzle loading hopefully ?

And 8mm maybe

getting on fine,
all the casting masters are finished and waiting to be sent for casting, in solid brass !

action and wood work finished and working very nicly,

steel outer barrel.

to load, butt on ground, posh down loading rod and pull up again, shoulder and fire, repeat

6mm from a small mag

No chance you'll be doing Springfields or Enfields for the ACW lads?

yep

the bren and .30 cal are dead,,,,, long live flintsoft !

Wow, great!
You might get something started here..

Does this mean you'll do castings of a CW replica or just do them as one offs on request?
A Confederate impression with a Baker rifle just doesn't look the same deal.

i,m not 100% on ACW but the rifles used were either copyed or close to 3 band enfields
wich is a modernised brownbess based rifle, more or less... so again tweeking the base designe will be totaly do-able,

we,r working on the baker, carbine and large horse pistol all useing the same mex, just diferant outer woods and barrel legth and brass work,
so the internal stock milling is mostly the same

i,m allso working on a nocks volley gun as well !!

cheers
warren

(hope thats ok to post dave)

christ that looks awesome

cheers clash,
i,l be getting back on this very soon,

i,m looking into nap uniforms via some nice indian makers atm
so fingers crosed this wil help to keep the cost down and get people interested,
it will my end up here for shore

seriously im well up for this, despite being new to airsoft.
and yeah over the past couple of months i've been seriously getting interested in napoleonic stuff. and i agree, cheaper uniforms would definatly be a benefit, the price of some of reproduction uniforms out there is enough to make your hair curl.

Nice idea! And VCRA exempt too! Just as well though, it wouldn't look too good in two tone dayglo colours.

Seriously, its VCRA exempt? That makes it even better

Yup - Design dates from before 1870.

ye its rather handy to re VCRA

and god help me but i didant give two tones a bit of thoght lol
and if a costomer did ask i,d say "only in blood red" "yours" !

dount forget there is allso the dongsang/KTW flintlock pistol as well,
dount be pot of in any way with the marked fps as they realy do shoot very well, ok, slow-ish in flight but they do go forever/range,

bit of an update lads and ladies,

we,r getting ready for a photo shoot this spring so i,l let you know how that go,s
we can just about field approx 15 players now.
first games will be mid summer.
we,l be mostly armed with the pistol and a few long arms, and swords, so will be grate fun,
so a little like in the early days of WW2 airsoft, a see of thompsons

i,v allso found a better donor for the long arms,
that could just about fit in to 1to1 woodwork

all in all every thing is coming along nicely

hi all

just a quick update,
baker is working out much better now with the new internals,
will have pics soon

Rifleman jackets are finished and lots of interest and some sales,
so all in all moving in the right direction-- attachment is not available --
