I was selling the gun to help rebuild a destroyed Church in Mozambique. However someone has donated the entire sum that was needed. So Thank the Lord and that person!
I am STILL offering this for sale. I have not been shooting black powder in awhile and I am getting older, I think I will sell a few guns that someone else can enjoy.
I bought this gun a few years ago. After I shot it awhile I started messing with it. The first thing I did was "antique" it. I removed the blueing and the finish on the stocks. Later on I cut a dovetail and put a fairly decent front sight on it and opened the notch in the hammer. The front sight is my copy of the front sight on Wild Bill's 1851 that is in the Cody Museum. Then I reshaped the trigger to more like the original. The factory nipples have been replaced with Slix Shot nipples.
It comes with a home-made loading stand and a kit to make paper cartridges (both 36 and 44).
The photos were taken before I changed the front sight and worked on the trigger

Jim, is there any way someone could make small monetary contributions to help?
I just now found out that some folks got together and have fully funded building a totally new and larger Church. Someone donated the full $300,000.00!!
They are going to continue and help rebuild the village. Almost all the homes in the village were severely damaged or destroyed. You can read about it on the page I linked above.
.
As one who has been both giver and recipient of generous gifts, it is pretty cool the way humans (at least a fair number of us) help each other out when needed. It works best within a capitalist free market system, where people don't feel constantly ripped-off, and under a system where the government doesn't get involved in 'charity', because inevitably they pick winners based on politics, and since they steal the money from taxpayers, the taxpayers feel ripped off, and feel 'someone else' is helping those in need, so they back of on donating.
Glad to hear you got a very substantial gift - looks like one of the more worthy causes in the world.

Hi Jim. Who is the manufacturer of the gun?
Pietta
Hi Jim -
IIRC correctly, this is the one where you carefully used a draw file to remove the hideous info script Pietta plastered in such obvious places on the guns they make. Am I remembering correctly?

Yessir ... that is the one. And it is going out in the morning. I hope the new owner enjoys it.
