One of the few firearms I'd still like to find

would be a Sharps or Trapdoor in .50-70(why no, I can't just want something simple).*  According to various listings Pedersoli and a couple of other companies(not Shiloh or C. Sharps, if I find one I don't want to have to wait for months to a year to get it) make them, but I can't find any listed for sale anywhere.
 
There are some originals listed at various auction sites, with prices ranging from 'that's not too bad' to 'Nope.  No way.'
 
I doubt I'll find an original that's both shootable and affordable for me, and right now I can't find a reproduction in that cartridge.  Ah well, keep looking and see if something turns up.
