You should check out that little muzzleloading shop near you. You know, just looking. What’s the worst that can happen? A little look never hurt anybody. Maybe check the balance of some of those long rifles. You’d be doing the owner a favor. He doesn’t want to stock unbalanced rifles.

I have one of those 1874 Sharps alone in the safe. Hasnt been shot in a number of years. 45-100. It will speak loud and clear to you when you pull that front trigger.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Yup here is some for ya. 45-100 and the other round is a 45-70. Shiloh Sharps built by the current owners the Bryan Family. I have had it for 20 plus years. Long Range Express with MVA Buffalo Soule Tang sight and MVA windage adjustable front sight. Great gun and was a great shooter.

Pretty interesting difference between the 70 and the 100 case. Looks like fun and man that’s a beautiful rifle.

Do you recall what level of Walnut that is? I've been looking at their site and they have four levels and different pricing.
Love the heavy barrel on that Sharps, that's gotta help the recoil a bit :-)
Back to Black Powder I'm going to be in that area Monday so I'm stopping in to say hi. (leaving my wallet at home lol)
