Has a MSRP been established? Made in USA is a big factor for me. Would like to see some range reports on this before I buy. Wonder if it would ever be chambered in 45 Colt.

I am curious as to the long-term wear with hardened brass if it will loose headspace. Maybe the critical wear areas have steel bushings or bearings. SAMMI specs. are around 12,000 PSI for 44-40 and wonder what this rifle was tested with.

I love that they're making the 1860 and how they run their company in general. Makes their products cost more, but that's what it takes.

I would love to find a way to buy an 1860 in .45 colt if they get around to making them.
