Just getting started in N-SSA. In fact, didn't know N-SSA existed until I went by Back Creek in August of this year. Got a Zouave that Richard Hill in my 14th Mississippi was gracious enough to get squared away for rifled musket. Now have a PH Enfield musketoon deal ready to complete. Already had a Pietta 1858 revolver. Uniform is complete except getting the brass "14" and red cord for my hat. The only thing left to get is a smoothbore.
In order to keep costs down, am interested in the Traditions 1842 smooth bore musket that goes for about $850 and is described in every advertisement as "Approved by the North-South Skirmish Association (N-SSA)." But the 2022 01/01/2022 edition of approved production arms does not have this listed. This leads me to a couple of questions:
1) is this approved but on a different list since it is a kit & not a production arm. ?Then, is there a list of kit firearms that I need to seek out?
2) If it is on the "Kit approved" list, what finish on metal & wood is required?
Thanks in advance for your time & effort in answering this.
Best regards,
