i saw an italian made replica sharps carbine today for 600 bucks.... i think i missed out

[craveman85]

@NYredneck17 depends on who made it. not all of them are worth that much lol.

[NYredneck17]

@craveman85 yeah i looked all over the gun for a manufacturer stamp and couldnt find any

[craveman85]

@NYredneck17 you probably didnt miss out then. if it doesnt say c sharps, shiloh, pedersoli, or uberti then its probably not worth having.

[NYredneck17]

@craveman85 yeah i know, and if it were one of those then it would be well over 1000 dollars.... maybe over 2000 for certain models

[nosaltadded]

It's painful to watch a fine firearm handled by a bunch of retards.

[drod103164]

@nosaltadded yes and did you notice he was trying to load the gun with the barrel pointed up. the shell seem to be sliding out of the breech.

[oldbanjoman]

@nosaltadded: You got that one right, brother. Never saw a bigger bunch of baffoons than this group. And they're handling loaded weapons, too. Remind me not to be in the same state as them when they're firing.

[seanmj1washere]

Imagine if they had scopes on this thing in the civil war.

[Jaket2000]

I allmost got one from Cabelas when I went for my 16th birthday but instead I got a hawken unkowingly I could have goten a hawken instead.

[SuperR3volver]

[jakedaredneck]

I want one soooooo bad.... Just a little... well alot out of my like $500 pricerange

[screamingcockatoo]

@jakedaredneck

I installed Pella windows in my neighbors house to earn the money!

It took me a week but I got them in and bought the rifle that day I got paid!

I bought it used.

[hidethisnine]

@jakedaredneck The one that I priced was well over 1800.00. Damn em.

[druisteen1]

do you know the treuille de beaulieux carbine ?

[starlionblue]

Don't Sharps rifles eject the shell when you pull the breech lever open? Watch "Quigley Down Under," Tom Selleck used a Sharps Rifle in that movie. I have no idea if anyone can shoot it that fast in real life.

[screamingcockatoo]

It only pops the shells out like that when you pop the lever down hard.

The block has a spur that pulls the ejector when it lowers.

So if you just drop the lever, the shell is eased out.

Pop it down and the case flies across the range.

Then some idiot steps on it.

[majorporpoise]

The loading mechanism reminds me of a Martini Henry.

[screamingcockatoo]

The Martini Henry has a loading breech like the Peabody(Canadian rifle).

[paleoman1999]

There giving that forearm hell on that bench!....lol

[Yarder122]

be nice if you have a bullet reloader, this cartriges are expensive!

[screamingcockatoo]

Oh yeah, I reload for it.

I even cast the bullets for it!

They cost me about 12 cents a piece.

[Yarder122]

how much did your reloader cost?

[screamingcockatoo]

I got my reloading press at a garage sale 20 years ago for $5!

It's a Lyman Turret top.

We load 45-70, 45ACP, 45LC, 44MAG 38 Special 30-06 and 223.

[Yarder122]

all the ones I see are worth hudreds but you got a good deal!

[colonelporpoise]

Is this an old Shiloh rifle?

[rtison]

I bought it used.

I believe it was made in the 1990's

[colonelporpoise]

I thoght this was an old Shiloh 1874 sharp rifle.

Maybe it's a reproduction.

[screamingcockatoo]

Yes, it's a reproduction.

[colonelporpoise]

Cool, I should get myself one.

[screamingcockatoo]

You'll have to reload for it as the rounds are $1.25 each!

[colonelporpoise]

I really have to learn how to cast bullets if I want these types of firearms, especially if I want an Arisaka!

[tljkelly]

What make is that ? And barrel length ?

[screamingcockatoo]

Taylor Arms. 31" barrel.

[jofus21187]

is that the gun like on "quigly down under"

ive held one, they are heavy as hell!

[screamingcockatoo]

Yeah, it's similar.

The Quigly gun had a silver endcap on the fore grip and the patch box was still on the buttstock.

Quigly's gun was supposed to be a converted blackpowder Sharps.

The original Sharps used a black powder charge and a percussion cap.

[colonelporpoise]

I love that movie!!!

The flip sight was in the front I believe, just like the 03 Springfield.

[moores20062007]

i love the old sharps rifle, 45-70 with a cast 405gr bullet is good medicine for moose.

[screamingcockatoo]

We get together once a month!

Then grill out for lunch afterwards!

[screamingcockatoo]

Yes, when the lever is pushed forward, then pushes an extractor back, eject...-LAUNCHING the case out of the chamber!

[danebrewer10]

do these not have an extractor when you open the action?
