I have been waiting 5 years, but finally the gun is finished. The Sharps 1877 is a wonderful piece of working art and this one turned out great…

Beautiful! Looking at that barrel I’m hoping you don’t have to carry it too far. Wink What cartridge is it chambered for?

Very nice rifle, and gorgeous wood !!  I need to own a nice Sharps rifle one day… when I can’t find another nice high-wall to buy first.
