Re: Site to Purchase accurate pre-rolled cartridges/packages

Hello everyone,

I am new here, I hope I am not offending anyone or breaking any rules.

I have just bought my first Euroarms P1853 musket, and I would like to make proper cartridges for it.

I have seen the web site http://www.cartridgetubes.com/, and, thanks to this thread, http://www.lazyjacks.org.uk/cartrdge.htm

I am eager to try my hand at making some, but I'd also like to buy some to examine how the finished product is supposed to look.

Can someone private message me who the vendor is that cannot be named?

Thanks,

Steve Sheldon

Gents,

I am in search of someone who makes, or is willing to make, CORRECT short pattern Confederate-made Enfield cartridge tubes or complete cartridges . (As produced by southern arsenals such as Augusta, to include the beeswax coating on the outside of the tube.)

I know that Brett Gibbons used to produce a fantastic copy of these, but he is no longer in the market due to the call of Uncle Sam.

By the by, I talked to Mike Watson last night. He is only making .58 caliber Minnie cartridges with southern arsenal labels.

A nudge in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

I'm changing-out displays in our local museum and have a sudden yen for dummy replica C.S. Burton .58 cartridges, something I definately cannot roll in my basement. Used to deal with a fellow in Utah, I believe, who I understand closed up shop. Any leads?

Hi all,

I'm having a bit of trouble with my posts appearing, not sure why.

I would like to make authentic cartridges for my Enfield also. I'm also interested in people who sell them. Does anyone know who makes a mold for a .55" diameter Pritchett ball?

Re: Site to Purchase accurate pre-rolled cartridges/packages

FYI..found mike's number and called him yesterday...he answered his cell phone in the middle of a reenactment in the St Louis area...I had to laugh...anyways...he is BEGGING for business and his cartridges are top of the line from what I remember that I purchased at the early part of the decade..he said he's making a few different calibers with tons of different arsenal labels available w/ or w/out caps in the pack... $6 per bundle or $8per bundle w/caps...just relaying the info I got from him..if you are in a bind for time like I am before mannassas,etc hit Mike up! He would love your business!

Cartridges Unlimited (Mike Watson) 4320-A Hartford St. St. Louis, MO 63116 (314) 664-4332 (my last contact info for him) He makes less expensive/less authentic rounds for mainstream events, and also more authentic for showing for a buck or two more. Nice tight arsenal packs that fit well in the tins with many labels to choose from, and his prices are reasonable.

I roll my own with the 3m paper normally, as its easy to roll them while watching the news/movie, but Mike's rounds are a good alternative.

I talked with Mike Watson at The Camp Jackson Affair event in St Louis in April this year and I have his business card.

Mike Watson 4656 Newport, St Louis, Mo 63116 (314) 769-1588).

He still does the old fashion, write for a free catalog, (send a self address stamped envelope).

thanks Huck! I guess you had a little skin in me getting the right #????

Re: Site to Purchase accurate pre-rolled cartridges/packages

I have kept meaning for years to get ahold of him and get a few more sets of demo rounds from different arsenals and such. When I saw he was at the event in april I figured I better get his current info. As I can say as of April 2011, that's it. I do know he is busy with work order.

Just talked to Mike. The only order he is working on right now is mine (for 470 .69 rounds!)....if ya need some for manassas you might want to give him a ring.
