FOR SALE Morse carbine from Rifle Shoppe kit

[Eterry]

I had some interest, but it did not sell. It comes with 10 cases, reloading tools, and the bullet mold ship for $2800 my lowest price. Thank you for your interest.

What diameter and weight of bullet does it use?

I used a Lee bullet mold and cut it down by one Band and one groove so it is about 350 grains and .515 diameter

Trying once more to establish contact with the hopes of purchasing the carbine. I just need a method to contact you as I am unable to private message.

Understood, cash in hand for the moment.. Please let me know ASAP.

Thank you to others who attempted to assist with contact. Unfortunately as a new member I do not have the ability to start conversations.

I have not heard from the fellow that was supposed to buy the Morse carbine. Are you still interested?

 

[Smokey Plainsman]

I am curious if the repro Morse cases sold by Track have the same powder capacity as the originals?

 

[rodneys]

No they do not hold as much powder as the original.

Such an incredibly handsome arm. So unique and special!!

 

[Frontstuffer070]

That is a cool rifle for sure! On a separate note. That other Civil War Carbine that used the plastic reloadable cartridges (forgive me, I can't remember the name of the rifle) should be accepted here too then??

 

[rodneys]

are you talking about the Burnside carbine? According to the rules, if it was in production before 1865, not a prototype, it is allowed on this forum.

 

[Frontstuffer070]

Yeah, I believe that is the one.

As long as they use a separate, outside priming system, usually a musket cap, then they can be discussed. Hence the Spencer carbine can't be discussed due to self contained rimfire system.
The carbine with the gutta-percha cases are the Smith. Very user friendly, now they use a plastic or metal case and musket cap. The rub is most modern case makers gravitate towards target shooters, and doesn't have as large a capacity as originals.
IIRC, the original load was 45grs fine powder and 320-350 bullet.
