Just watched Hickok45's video on this gun. It's neater than poop! Uberti makes a replica for right at $450. I believe I have found a new gun to add to my wishlist.
Sportsman's Guide has them for $430, $387 for SG buyers club members. Not sure what shipping would be.
But, the BATF does not recognize black powder, cap & ball or muzzleloaders as firearms There for you can order one to be sent direct to you.
State laws may restrict it however. Depending where you live.
Been thinking about getting the old Lyman 1858 Remington out, and bustin' a few caps. Now you really got me thinking about getting the Walker I wanted long ago.
Not a lot to learn. I think they have "modernized" a few things since my smoke making hobby days. Something about wad over the powder instead of the old traditional grease over the ball. These kids now days are afraid of a little mess.
Just remember to clean it good. Hot, soapy water like with corrosive ammo. Black powder will rust it up pretty quick. Not sure about the modern imitation stuff. If I want retro, I want
retro!
Billowing clouds of smoke, grease, and soot.
