    Can I use the Colt Signature series musket

    In the approved arms lists the entry for the Colt Signature series musket says "no identifying marks". What does this mean?

    2) Chattahoochee BPS Co. (Colt Signature 2) (no identifying marks)

    That means there are no markings to identify who actually made the arm.

    Confused...does that mean my Colt 1861 musket is not approved because it has Colt markings?

    Yakiman - The "Approved Arms List" states specifically that the "Chattahoochee BPS Co. (Colt Signature Series)" is approved for use in the N-SSA. Your musket is exactly what is listed as being approved, therefore your musket is approved. I apologize if it was confusing for you, but I don't know of any other way to state it more clearly.

    What confused me is right after the "signature series it says "no identifying marks"

    Thank you so much for your attention. From someone contemplating membership in the N-SSA, from someone who's already bought a carbine, a musket and all the leather gear, your condescending response pretty much tells me why the organization is having trouble recruiting. I'm done. Someone wants to buy this stuff, send me a pm.

    Yakiman - I am very sorry you thought my reply was condescending, it most certainly was not! It was a true statement, I really don't know how to state it any other way. If you have a better way you think it could be done, please tell me what it is. I thank you sincerely for any suggestions you may be able to provide!

    Yakiman, I'm afraid you misunderstood the responses. Colt didn't make your musket, they just put their name on a product someone else made. It's the same as if you bought a Buick Regal thinking it's a Buick. It's actually an Opel Insignia with a Buick badge. But, you'll never see Opel on the car. There are lots of products like this. Please don't give up on the N-SSA because of this. It's a great group and I guarantee that if you have gone to the trouble of getting all that equipment, you will enjoy skirmishing. Come on out and shoot your new guns!
