I have been a total idiot all morning.

I ordered a new phone with headset without checking it's affinity or otherwise with broadband and ordinary BT sockets. Turns out it's fine with both, but I can't believe I had to phone back and ask. Phoned Battle Orders to find out about flintlocks etc to find if the guns they make fire caps. They said 'No,' only pellets and blanks. My love reminded me that I hadn't asked about flintlocks, only about generic guns. I phoned back and asked again. The answer was still no.

I can't think. Strange dreams last night.
I'm feeling twitchy and distracted and vulnerable. Maybe it's the full moon. The only way out is to get busy. I'm sure this will work provided I can do it without breaking stuff/forgetting stuff/tripping over stuff.

Wish me luck, LJ.

Debs if you are still looking for flintlocks www.replicaweaponry.com I think it is, if you check out the percussion pistols they have the little metal stud you need to spark off the caps for maelstrom.

I have to disagree there - I've bought a number of things from them and found them both cheap and of good quality. Perhaps either I've been lucky or you've been unlucky?

Previously had bad order times, innaccurate orders mis billing shoddy quality, especially replicas (Though they appear good for sporting kit.)

No kidding?

Thanks for the warning, their stuff looked great on their webpage and I was thinking of buying Russ the set of duelling pistols they advertise.

Dont buy the Axe Gun however tempting, I suspect it aint LARP safe...

Medlock will make it up in Foam LAtex though should you ever need one.

Seem to be about the same price as Battle Orders too. Though to be fair the matched set duellers are a good deal from battle orders. Id still have quality concerns though... their stuff tends to look brand new and fairly 'manufactured' cant tell as their piccys are far too blurry....

Oh god i just scrolled down my website suggestion theyve got gunswords and knives too....

I believe they are all cap firers...

Thank you. I will remember you in my will, or in the bar at Maelstrom, whichever you prefer.
