I know places like Cabelas, Dixie Gun Works and a whole host of Civil War Suttlers sells replica 1861s. You watch the North South Skirmish Association or the Civil War Reenactor Forum websites b/c you'll find some member who is getting out of the hobby and letting it go at a reasonable price. Heck, I bought my replica 1861 from a member here at THR at a good price. If you go to the NSSA matches, I think you'll always find someone who is selling their gun.
