Smith carbine and 1851 for sale

[Tuolumne Lawman]

Well, the news from the orthopedic is not good. The shoulder is going to need some bone graphs, nylon re-enforcements and a long, slow rehab.  Not saying the first surgeon botched it, but... The first shoulder won't be until November 18th He also will be doing the left shoulder when the right is as good as it will get.  Not saying 58 is old, but my days of sleeping in a dog tent and "taking hits" and falling down are pretty much over.  Missed Jerseyville because I was on vicodin.

Realistically speaking any shooting, (and re-enacting) will be out for more than a year.  So I am selling my Smith and 1851 Navy. No sense sitting in the safe, if I am not likely to use them again. If I do feel able to get back into it, I will scrape up enough for a Spencer then, but I will cross that bridge when I come to it.

It is an artillery model (which all original Smiths were until sometime in 1863). It is in absolutely excellent condition, bore pristine, Enfield sling, about 150 + rubber cartridges, Smith 30 round loading block and nylon blank compression dowel and about 500 musket caps for $675 ($200 less than DGW for weapon alone) +$25 shipping.  No FFL needed.

1851 is a Pietta .44, VG to excellent condition except front sight bead fell out.  $125 +$10 priority mail.
