    Price is now around £4500 and the waiting list is at least three years from placing the order. The example you can see on Youtube tac's guns Baker rifle took four years to arrive, DID cost £3500, but is seven years old now. Best to give him a call, he is very pleasant chap to talk to.

    So if a copy costs £4k5 what would one made in 1826 be worth?

    I paid £6750 back in 2006, have they gone up much since then?

    I couldn't possibly comment. Your spending on a gun is about the same as I spend on a family car - what do I know about stratospheric gun prices?

    Steady on old chap, it was just a general question, a musing, not directed at you at all.

    I do wish you would stop getting cross and telling me off like this.

    I am really quite inoffensive, I just have this unfortunate gun buying habit

    Not cross 'old chap', just somewhat bemused, that's all.

    My latest acquisition is a 44th Bn of Infantry Welland & Lincoln Militia snider from the ol' homestead in Ontario, with a history back to its issue in 1868 and use during the Fenian Rebellion.

    Cost me $750 Canuckian - that's around £375 or so.

    Of course, I can't shoot it, as I already have too many guns for this county to permit me to have such a cosmic world-destroying fusil as that.

    Having owned one of the Indian made ones many years ago, which was a real piece of rubbish (apollogies if you are the chap I sold it to..), I emailed Pedersoli and suggested it would be a good one for them to copy commercially. They replied something such as ' Thank you, but we have not hear of this gun'.

    Yes, the Rifle Shoppe DO produce a kit, eventually. One acquaintance of mine has been waiting nigh-on four years for parts for his...I guess it might turn up afore he dies of ade olge.
