I hope you aren't looking for cartridge guns! Better be more specific.
Thanks

What kind of trade value do you have in mind?

 

[T4halo1]

Looking for either a cap or flinter. 50 or 54 for hunting. I believe the old Colt is worth $800-1000

Bore looks good, if that rifle was mine & in solid safe condition I would replace the nipple & enjoy years of worry free shooting.
Have been shooting originals for 60+ years.

Would you be interested in a custom 50 caliber Hawken style rifle? Excellent condition.
