Latest Lever 1877 Shiloh Sharps
After a 5 year wait, I got this beauty yesterday...
Re: Latest Lever 1877 Shiloh Sharps
Very, very nice. That's some outstanding wood
When you have a chance, put a little grease under all the metal...buttplate, screws, under barrel, etc....I started to see some rust on my Shiloh after awhile after no exposure to elements.
(I'm partial to Fluid Film grease....YMMV)

Unless I missed it, what caliber???? Great looking piece.
there is no such thing as a miss if you still have ammo

It is 45-70, I took it out in the snow and cold and sighted it in on rocks and such. I got it to Minute of Antelope, now I go hunting with it...

Re: Latest Lever 1877 Shiloh Sharps
Nice to look at, but too pretty for Me. Enjoy. .
Re: Latest Lever 1877 Shiloh Sharps
While I'm not disagreeing with you , if it were mine I'd shoot the heck out of it .
I think I like the looks of the 1877 action more then the others . Certainly more then the 1875 or 1878 . Not that there's anything wrong with either of them just a personal preference .

Re: Latest Lever 1877 Shiloh Sharps
Beautiful gun! But we need more details! What barrel length and weight? Brand of barrel? Sights? etc.....
