It's been for sale for almost 2 1/2 years now. Here's another one that has been on the market for about the same amount of time but there has been a lot of questions arise about this one.

had the opportunity to fire a reproduction with the hex bore. Went throught the whole process with the special mold etc. Shot about 5" groups at 300, even with some load dev. Tried Goex, & Swiss different grains etc, would like to see what an original can do, accurate hits at 1500, well someone will have to show me. Proving providence on a Confederate original would be hard to do.

Been out of BP rifles for decades , but it used to be said that modern BP offerings don't hold a candle to the quality of the old stuff. Some of the high quality powders of old could be very accurate .

It was probably sold at the big Civil War show in Ga. this past weekend.
