As a turbo-nerd who does this kind of thing for money in the summer, I appreciate this thread.  That's me in my 1867 British 1's with a Snider-Enfield (breech-loading conversion of the P53 Enfield,) please ignore my cartouche strap being way too lose. I've always kind of been curious about getting my hands on a set of Civil War union kit to see how it compares because that's who we would have been defending against at the fort I work at.

McNally posted:What fort is that? I reenacted the Battle of Ridgeway at Old Fort Erie last summer. Fort Henry, which while a really nice fort was never attacked so there's nothing significant for reenactments around here. We mostly focus on the precision drill and fire at imaginary Americans instead.

McNally posted:With Snider-Enfields? You guys are 50 years late to that party. The story goes that half the reason our unit does 1867 is because in the 1930s they found a giant cache of Snider-Enfields formerly of the Canadian militia for us to use. I've never actually loaded anything from the muzzle or used percussion caps so I'm also assuming our blanks are a lot simpler to use, too, which is nice  I LICK APE PUSSY posted:You look really sharp in that. Also that kit looks really expensive. Since it's a paid job and not volunteer reenacting there's a QM who has a giant stock of all kinds of different uniforms. Having seen the sheets with the values on them, they're really expensive, I think we import our shackos and tunics from England.
