Save your money and buy a repro at a fraction of the cost.

After your done shooting the repro you'll lose very little compared to shooting a pristine 1940 gun!

No thanks Gary. Much of the appeal of these guns to me is that they were made (at least the 19th century ones) in water-wheel driven, whale-oil and candle lit factories.

CNC guns might be more precise, but don't have the same soul to me.

The 1940 era gun in the OP is a bute, but 50 years late compared to most of the guys in my safe. To hold them, like a stitch in time, is pure magic.
