Re: What Do You Think? (Some Sharps Porn)
Ever notice that those old Sharps just have a certain style and grace of line. Compare them to an AR, and you realize that those older designs were as much art as machine. Good catch Blaine.

Since you bought it off the wall (so to speak), you couldn't specify. Just wondered if you asked when you selected it. Next time I get up your way... we may just have to schedule a range day. May even have to drag along my own example.

Oh, that's very nice. Do they chamber for the 38-55?
By the way, I've been retired for almost 9 years and I'm still buying retirement gifts. You aren't helping by showing that Sharps.

Sweet!
I emailed them about the one I wanted and was told it could be two years before they
did another run of the 1874 Military Carbine.
Oh well, I found something I've wanted even more. Just have to wait for rjohns to
get home from Africa.

If I had not asked for help logging into the Forum, I would never have seen this...their on-line store didn't have this posted, or even have a picture. Thanks to Traci @ Shiloh for taking a picture and sending it to me....Here's more that are not on the site yet....excluding mine, of course.

Thats a pretty rifle Blaine. Can I shoot it?
Ya picked a good one too being a one shooter and all, should be able to keep it for a few more years, unless they make the capacity limmit zero.

That rifle has an 18 twist in the barrel. It may not particularly like those flyweight bullets.

You'll be mixing beeswax or candle wax with olive oil before much longer n' castin' nice soft lead slugs soon
I am very excited, TedH looks it's a good shooter also, something about the more innocent times and the firearms of back then. That nice big fat slug bimmbling along, flame, smoke and odour de la sulphur, excellent

I know there's quite a difference between .40 and .45, but my 1:18.5 likes the lighter 330-350 grain pills vs the 400+. But, the .40-90SBN is an "Express" cartridge from the word, "go"! I would agree with Don, you're probably looking in the 400+ grain range as the lightest you'll get the best accuracy from. My 1886 Browning in .45-70 has never gotten satisfactory accuracy from bullets lighter than 350s. (Well, the 325s I cast anyway)!

Mine is also a 1-18" twist. Tried some 350's in mine. Didnt like them at all. Much, much prefers the 480's.

So... when's the last snow of the season? Provided we're still a country by then, and these aren't classed as NFA guns, I'll have to make a road trip. Or you will!!! Maybe we can get 86er to do a Sharp's hog hunt on the cheap!
