Why is so difficult to find an 1842 Springfield smoothbore reproduction lately? Been looking, and all I find is the INDIAN muskets.....can't ever find a decent original. What gives?
Can't speak for repros, but prices on originals seem to be high lately, heck all civil war seems to be high. I just saw a nice one with matching dates of 1846 go for $1600. It was in great shape too. Missed that one and I would have paid that price. All I can say is keeping watching, the right one will show up eventually.
