Muskets and Minutemen: Arms of the Colonial Soldiers

Both Ed Sterling and Keith Hatfield are certified instructors in muzzleloading firearms, and expert collectors.

Discover the muskets and rifles that were used during the American Revolution by the British and the Colonists. Using both their own rifles and those in the collection of the Harvard Historical Society, Ed Sterling and Keith Hatfield show the operation of these rifles, describe how they were made and show how muskets and rifles are different. NO actual live firing, of course.
