To answer my own question, I know that I sure would. That is one singular looking firearm, with its "old west" romance and its magazine fed sensibilities. A hero's firearm indeed.
I encourage likeminded folk to contact Master Replicas license division LicenseIdeas@MasterReplicas.com and urge them to get crackin' on just such a project. Master Replicas produces high quality metal prop replicas from the worlds of S.F. and fantasy. Some of their faithful recreations have already escalated in value. Their Han Solo Blaster retailed at $499, sold out and now fetches prices in excess of $1.000 on Ebay, so there's investment potential as well.
Of course, maybe I'm all alone in my desire. I'll be watching the posts.
Best to you all,
Rick Bilyeu

I'd buy one in a NY minute. . .
I'd also like to know more about Jayne's revolver.

Hi Static,
Jayne's revolver, I've been informed is based on the LE MAT CIVIL WAR PISTOL/SHOTGUN. Just paste that in a search on Ebay and you can see it for yourself and decide. They run $49 dollars.
Also here is a copu of the email I sent to Master Replicas yesterday.
Dear Master Replicas,
I'd like to bring to your attention to a prop replica that should be
profitable for both you and the rights holder.
In 2002 the FOX television network aired the critically acclaimed series, Joss
Whedon's "Firely". The network axed this brilliant gem of a western set in
space to the anguish of several million viewers.
Last December the complete series was released on DVD. The Hollywood Reporter
recently quoted its' sales figures in excess of 200,000 sets sold.
Universal bought the rights to "Firefly" from 20th Century Fox and have now
green lighted a feature film, "Serenity", based on and continuing the
adventure that began on the small screen, for release in 2005.
The series fan base, as indicated, loves the show and is willing to spend
money. Already press kits from the TV series and small trinkets from the set
are selling on Ebay for prices in the $400 to $500 range.
And so I bring to your attention to the sidearm of the series lead hero,
Malcolm Reynolds. A futuristic magazine fed projectile weapon, which captures
the romance of a six shooter from the 1800's. This firearm is so singular in
its look that it has already captured the hearts of many of the shows fans.
I believe that a release of this showpiece prop, perhaps to coincide with the
release of the film, would sell huge for you.
A Science Fiction weapon destined to be a classic would indeed make for a
Master Replica.
Best regards,
Rick Bilyeu
So remember to send 'em an email of your own.

Best,

Gorean,
Who isn't hot for "Vera"?:) Come to think of it, how about Jayne's entire arsenal wall?
Hopefully enough folks sent off an e-mail to Master Replicas so that they might be pondering replicas from Firefly. We'll see.

I would definitely go in for a replica, but I would rather have a working model. :p
Jayne's wall is a bit like mine, except I have more guns.
