For sale is a US Civil War contract Belgian made copy of the French 1857 Minie rifle in .69 cal. The Union ordered several thousand of these from Belgium during the war. This particular rifle is only missing the middle barrel band. I've never shot it before, and I can't guarantee how safe it would be, but I also have a bag of Minie balls for it, if you ever want to shoot it.

I'd like $950 for it, but I am also open to trades and other offers.
