Mine is not for sale, but I did find a few people marketing brass for them.  You'll pay for it.  The cheapest I found was $5.50 per piece of brass.  Also I couldn't find a bullet mould except for an original antique they wanted $900 for.  But the book I have on the Burnside says you can use a roundball mould of a certain caliber (I don't recall, around .560 I think) as a substitute.  I bought one from Lee for $20.

 

Good luck!

I have a 5th model that I shoot using the Old West 560 mold, with a tapered bottom,  and the plastic tubes from Lodgewood.

I've found that 40 gr of 3F Swiss black powder is a good load.

I asked that the mold be modified and the taper makes it a lot easier to load the tubes.

You may need to ask them for the taper but the photo looks like it is tapered.

There's a couple on GunBroker.  I love mine.  Wish you luck.  

 

Another site might be the N-SSA bulletin board.  They have a "For Sale" section.

 

S&S Firearms is another sight for parts/brass and possibly complete guns. 

 

Lodgewood, who has been mentioned already, also sells complete guns as well as parts and cases(both plastic and brass).

 

You might get lucky like I did, and find a really good example in a gun shop.
