  1. Some of today's states didn't exist yet. Some were still undeveloped territories. Gun making back then required factory facilities, transport systems, and usually running water to power machinery. By the time the western territories became states and the railroad system was in place the US gun market was well saturated.

  2. I must wonder if the firing pins ever stuck in the forward position and caused slam fires before the breech locked. That too could discourage sales. :)
