Manual of Arms Position:
    
               Prime/Ready
   Thought to be one of the easiest manuvers of the manual of arms, the positions of Prime and Ready acctually have key details that must be observed for both safety and authenticity.  When at the position of prime/ready one's feet are at a "T" with the musket held at a 45 degree angle.  It should be noted that the musket should be held comfortably tucked into the body.  When priming the musket, one should reach, with the left hand, over the musket to the cap pouch.  This allows an individual to keep control of the musket while priming.
