About $700 for one in really nice shape. looking at Gunbroker the ones starting at $900 or above don’t seem to get any bids.

It uses the piston style guide bullet starter, nice rifle.

I think some of the later 1842 Springfields were rifled but used a .69 minie bullet.

The round ball paper cartridge was used with smooth bore muskets, the paper held the ball in place on the powder and took up some of the excess windage between the ball and barrel. It didn’t impart spin to the ball since there was no rifling. IIRC, the 1841 Mississippi rifle was loaded with...

I have the interest and a .40 1-16 barrel for a TC stock but not the time 🙁

TC nipples are usually 1/4x28 and are shorter in height. 4f powder is a flintlock priming or pistol powder. If used in your rifle I’d load it light, maybe 20 grains. .50 barrel, I’d suggest a .490 ball with a .015 patch.

Uberti made some of the early Navy Arms revolvers. And I am guilty of having guns I haven’t shot. Such is life.

Griswold and Gunnison replica maybe

Not 1860 or 1851, round barrel and brass frame suggests it may be a replica of a confederate civil war revolver.

IIRC, the book covers everything about that cartridge. IIRC, the Minie bullet came first, the Pritchett later. However the paper patched Pritchett required a close fit in the barrel and manufacturing tolerances just weren't tight enough for mass use. The English 'Pritchett' bullet really should...

Here's on pictured with a patch box, but full length barrel. https://www.civilwararsenal.com/1862-c-s-richmond-va-rifled-musket-high-hump/

I put musket cap nipples on my Pedersoli Tryon rifles, works fine.

from a quick search it looks like FWB #1 was an under hammer pistol, FWB#2 a Rogers & Spencer revolver, FWB #3 a 1858 Remington style revolver

That looks like a TC Cherokee, I don't think Renegades came in .45, and don't have brass furniture.

IIRC, those Swiss used several bullet styles, Accurate Bullet molds 40-289MN is a copy of one of the later ones.

I suspect a parts gun, it looks like a later trapdoor lock plate, maybe a trapdoor Springfield stock with a muzzle loading barrel. https://www.ssfirearms.com/proddetail.asp?prod=W15534&cat=94

Yours looks like the fourth one from the top https://norskevaapen.no/?p=551
