Indians For Guns

Should be at home when I get home in a couple of weeks..



Its an Armi Sport version of the Sharps 1874 in 45-70. 32 inch barrel with a 1 in 18 twist. The aim is to use it for the BP events at 500 yards. Should be fun shooting BP loads, will post more pics once it arrives.

The guy who owned th weapon has shot 9 cartirdges through it. Didnt like it, I guess it isnt for everyone.

mouthwatering mate just mouthwatering, just love the barrel and the rear sights just pure science to use.

the table is it pine?

Very nice.Very cool.Must be great fun shooting it. As Nags says,using those sights is an art and a science.Thanks for sharing.

That is a very handsome looking rifle. Next step will be the Quigley rifle (45-110), try to get a pair of shooting sticks to match the wood on the gun, mold and load your own paper-patched ammo. Congratulations, let us know how it shoots.

Congrats MoA thats good looking gun..

No idea. Belongs to the person who owns it currently.

Paper Patched bullets? Unlikely. But who knows.
Plan on shooting 400 grain lead bullets, over 70 grains of BP. I doubt very much I will be casting my own. Too many issues with smelting lead, swagging bullets etc etc. Much easier to buy prelubed bullets.

Good buy. Would love to have a go with BP at long range...
