I recently picked up an 1860 Army brass frame gun for only $65, in mint condition- seller was shooting it, the hammer stuck, and he never shot it again. It still in "jammed" condition.
this will be a nice specimen to do some torture tests on, with full loads of blackpowder and pyrodex, and see how many shots it takes before the arbor pulls out of the frame
or, perhaps it will hold up- we'll see- all I really needed was the barrel and cylinder for another 1860 Army I'm building
nice gun though, it appears to me that perhaps the arbor is already coming out of the frame, and that's why it jammed, but we'll see when I get it and disect it
