Anyone have one laying about?

Think I saw RichardH had one to sell - dunno if it was for a Colt or Rem clone...
The Black-Powder Revival gathers steam..
A Militaria shop in Cheshire has a de-act 1858 with the shoulder stock, but £475 for a dead welded lump is a lot of money imho.
Sorry, the never-ending destruction of firearms by our 'De-Act' rules makes me very, very sad.

There is absolutely NO reason to deactivate any cap and ball revolver that is a genuine antique.
Exactly like the stunningly beautiful 17th C Bohemian matchlock carbine I saw last year for 'only' £11,500 - 'fully deactivated in accordance with the current Home Office guidelines', it read on the tag.

I find it very odd that a 160-year old Remington cap and ball revolver is considered to not only be to be a danger to life and limb, but somehow capable of loading itself and troubling the sleep of its owner, after somehow escaping from its gun safe.......
But as you say, it is their choice.
