To the OP. Thats a slick looking gun you have. My 1858 is a brass framed version from Richland Arms. Mine was broke when it was given to me but I found the hand and spring at Dixie Gunworks and fitted the new parts. These are dirt simple guns to work on. Fun to shoot too.
Let us know what you think when you fire it for the first time. You can order black powder online from Powder Inc. I have bought 50 pounds from them and another 25 pounds from a place named Coonies IIRC. But I am not sure they are in business anymore.
