I have dies, and picked up some brass when I worked at Huntington's, but have not yet gotten around to making ammo for it.

Remington quit making the .22 in 1933, so it is no younger than that.

Mine are Lee Shavers and I'm pretty sure that by the time they got up here to Canada, and fitted by the smith - they came in at around $500.00.<br />I was going to buy a Sharps too, but bought the roller because of availability.

One of my favorite Westerns. I was very excited when Cabela's offered a repro from Pedersoli quite a few years ago. To my great disappointment they screwed it up. They mounted a receiver sight instead of the tang mounted sight and left off the hood from the front sight.Would have been great fun lighting off a few .45-120 (.45-110 in the film) rounds. For more than a grand they should have gotten it right. If I had a few bucks to spare I'd get a real repro from Shiloh Rifles, but after spending $3500 on a new furnace two months ago to the day (44th wedding anniversary) it may be a while before I can afford the Quigley. Hey, maybe the lovely missus can get me one for my birthday tomorrow. Right.
