I have recently made multiple attempts to place an online order for Musket Miniatures 22mm ACW using the Musket Miniatures website. When I click "Check Out" I receive only a window which states, "Something went wrong" and "This store isn't taking orders right now." So as of 3 August 2024 what's the current business status of Musket Miniatures? Thank you. |

That's the million dollar question. Apparently, some people have received miniatures since the business changed hands. I sent him an email a year or so ago, but never received a response. My guess is: Original MM out of business. New MM opens as a poorly run business. New MM out of business. |

Dave at Stone Mountain worked with them before they started Musket Miniatures. Some of the ranges are similar. Also he may know what the status is. |

I just found a message under a 2019 TMP discussion about the Stone Mountain 22mm ACW range that had passed to new owner and how this fraudster ripped off a gamer who sent him 100's of figures for a swap and received nothing. It looks like Musket Miniatures were acquired by a slimy crook and have been dead and gone for years, and I'm just finding out about it. |

I placed an order with them in 2022. Sent them like 3 emails asking where my stuff was, never got a reply. The day I was going to cancel the transaction, my order arrived, which did include a few extra figures. Remember from the bad old days "allow 6 to 8 weeks for delivery"? That applied here. |

I did do an order with them last year. Yeah, no communication but order did eventually arrive a couple of months later. |

Helluva way to run a railroad. |
