Anybody shooting one of these old things? I've got an trapdoor 45-70 already but wanted an historical 63' Allin conversion for history sake and some recreation. Found one locally but wood is refinished but mechanically it is pretty good. Barrel is what one would expect of that vintage and blackpowder. Comes with 50-70 lyman dies and mould. They're asking $750 I think I can get it for somewhat less but it's mostly an history piece in my eyes.
So are these worth it or should I stick with my 1888 trapdoor and my sharps and forget the 1863 conversion?
