Re: what musket

A quick search of the forums provided this link http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/...ight=armisport and also http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/...light=euroarms along with many other posts with useful information. Use the key words "armisport" and "euroarms" and you will pull up quite a few posts.

Hope I have been of service,

Re: what musket

That entirely depends on what you want. The Armisport is of better quality than the Euroarms and just a wee bit lighter. The Armisport will cost a little more, if you are concerned about price, because it is a better quality. Although they both look very authentic defarbed.I would recommend Mr. John Zimmerman for either of your choice.

Phillip, maybe my eyes are backwards, but every place I've seen that sells muskets sell Armisport cheaper than Euroarms, not vice versa.

Tyler; I too am in the market for a new 1861 Springfield musket, from past postings and asking around knowledgable vendors, I've decided to save my money for a Euroarms 1861; one of the reasons is that you can use original parts on them. I will more than likely make mine into a contract 1861.
When ordering either go with Zimmerman or the fine folks at Lodgewood Mfg.
