are you taking about the Colt 1860? it’s on my list. Planing to eventually over a few years to get all the early guns. Then I’m going to hang it in my reloading room. Make a nice walnut or tight cedar display shelve.!

I'm talkin' about ANY Colt, Mark! Pick one...

Lot's of people love the LeMat...until they get to the price tag! If you can make it happen, go for it! Even though you could buy three or four nice Colt repops for the same money. Just sayin'...

Last LeMat I saw was going for $1100.00. If you can get one for $800 I'd say jump on it!

We've has some luck with LeMat's at gun shows. The last 3 we bought for the shop were at or under your price point. There were a lot more with higher prices...... I waited for the shows to be almost over and made offers. Most said no.....but it doesn't cost anything to ask.
