I'm 16, and I'm a re-enactor, I preserve our military history, and educate others about it...

Many Russian partisans in Jacksonville were there?

I was taking my Dads guns(1911 .45 and .357 mag black hawk) and driving myself to the range at 16, the range was cool with it as long as I brought my own ammo.

I was handling guns as young as 8.

My dad never let me have a toy gun. Guns are not toys, and he never wanted any confusion.

My parents trusted me. They were right in doing so. Guns were one area I was always responsible. I loved shooting and did not want to lose the privlidge for any reason.

I think gun ownership for kids really should depend on the kid, and it should be the parents call to make. In Cali it is not anymore. I think they passed a law that puts the mininum age for a kid to shoot a gun at 18? (It has been a while since I read it. I will look now)
Checked, Still could do what I was doing but would need written permission from my parent.

No, its not. Its a MN.

Most muzzle loaders had bayo's extended on the right or left side to allow access to the ram rod below.

IIRC, this rifle is set up the same way.

Hense - 'ala most 18th century muskets.'

Id' think it would be quite interesting to see a large scale civil war re-enactment

Hawklore,

Do you work the Battle of Olustee?
And if so, for which side?

Same thing happened to me Hawklore. Smacking it with a rubber mallet did the trick. However, you're going to need a second person. Do not put it in a vise (it will damage it) and do not aim the bayonet at anything important when you whack it.
