E. N. Santa Barbara Spain

I got my first cap and ball gun in a trade.
I was looking to find out more information on it and if there's a place I can eventually buy spare cylinders if needed. I was told this gun was only fired three times. It's like brand new.

Can this be moved to the black powder section please?

Good guns. Excellent material. Used as match shooters in many places.

Good guns that have been out of production for many years. Check around to see if original parts will fit or not.

What do you mean by original parts?

Parts made to fit the original Colt guns, Dixie Gun Works and some others offer parts made for the originals. Many parts of the modern (2007+) Uberti 1858 fit the original, including the cylinder for example.
