Hi Jim,

I have the last one that Tom Nixon is going to build with a letter from Tom confirming.

1858 Harpers Ferry Artillery #355 Weisz Barrel

Original parts consist of hammer, internal lock parts, butt plate, trigger assembly, barrel bands, band springs, screw set.

Reproduction parts are Rich Cross lock plate with Brian Haack end cap.

Tom had built this rifle for himself, but never shot it.

$2750 Trades considered

My mind, in its failing condition, cannot recall Mr. Howard's first name, but he usually has a table at the February Dalton, Georgia CW relic show. Recently he had, amd may still have, a near-mint Zimmerman M.1855 iron-mounted rifle for sale. If you attend the show, inquire as to whether he has a table.

Thanks for the replys. Charlie, I want a 55 rifle not the "artillery' model (cut down rifle-musket).

YOU DON'T KNOW ?
