What happened to the 15 rifles?
The author Stephen E. Ambrose writes in "Undaunted Courage" that when the Corp of Discovery returned to St. Louis, the rifles were sold at auction to help pay for the cost overruns of the expedition. I wonder where they are now. All the best...

Gil;
Five of the rifles remain; 2 were supposedly signed by Jacob Dickert. Where they are now (private collections? smithsonian?) I have no idea.
