Photos Anything...anything other than naked cats.......

[RollingThunder51]

To move the photo section forward. Nice early Sharps from NY years (before Big Timber) one of the few that went out the door with XXX curley maple. The heaviest of barrels in 2 7/8" .45. For those that care, the early high 1/2 cock and hammer. Cast pewter and scroll cheek rest and Schnable grip work. Old man Parsons himself handed me this scope when his shop went under water all those years ago (literally, flood). Shoot like a dream and so damn easy to carry...in a wheelbarrow! Scope is good to only about 300 yards as it has the micro rear and not the Malcomb ladder. Cost when new? A four year wait and a grand. Long before Quigley hated buckets.

TIme to get the photos back to rifles....

Beautiful rifle! Workmanship must be incredible up close.

And Thank You for saving us from the naked cat pick sitting at the top of the list!

Re: Anything...anything other than naked cats.......

nice rifle, are you paper-patching or shooting lubed bullets?

 

[RollingThunder51]

Re: Anything...anything other than naked cats.......

Lubed, the chamber is not cut for paper.

Thank you. I was really careful no one was looking over my shoulder at the screen when that stupid cat on it. It would be hard to explain it, on a site "for serious marksman"

A beautiful rifle. I've always liked tiger maple. looks great! Now you need a freedom arms mod 83 and an El Paso Saddlery mod 44 "the duke" to go with it.

Sir, I hate you. That's a beautiful rifle. I've always liked the smoke & boom of black powder.
