Sounds like an interesting event, if I was closer I'd join in. But my collection doesn't cover quite as much, I only go from late Indian Wars through Korea. Can't afford M-14, M-16 or pre-45-70 anything!

It went pretty well, with a steady crowd both days.  As an aside, I got to fire a Parrott Rifled Gun.  Cool!
