Dixie Gunworks sells a kit for making them that is very easy to work as I understand.

Question do you use the same Cartridges as the Springfield and enfields?

If so.. There are several sites on showing you how to make them.. I will see if I can find them.. I roll my own..

As one of my friends said the other day, "Sutler and Cheap are two different words". Rollin' your own reminds me of the 60s somehow.
