Sharps no longer for sale

Mark Seymour had a relatively-unused reproduction Sharps carbine for sale, along with an excellent reproduction carbine sling (made by one of the best leatherworkers in the business), a cartridge belt box, and a small container of should-be-patented 'Tommy Barker'-style paperwrapped cartridges.
Sold to a gentleman from Texas, sorry.

A hell of a visitor to the Fort

According to the current issue of The Skirmish Line, none other than R. Lee Ermey (known for his work as the cranky and gesticulating Gunny on Mail Call, shown on the Discovery channel) went to Fort Shenandoah to shoot a segment of his new show Lock & Load, also on Discovery.
In the pilot episode, he'll cover the evolution of black powder weapons in use during the Civil War, from flintlocks through the Henry.
His co-host for the segment will be Tim Scanlan of the N-SSA (who will undoubtedly be insufferable now as a result of his new-found stardom).

Importuning

In case you missed it at the National like everyone else.

We're not last, and almost first

Results from the Fall National:

Company A of the Delaware Blues came in 2nd out of 38 teams in Class A2, placing 'in the money' (which apparently doesn't have anything to do with money).
(Congratulations to the serious shooters of Company A.)

Company B of the Delaware Blues came in 30th out of 38 teams in Class B1.
(Better luck next year, but we were not last...)
