My dad gave me an original Sharps carbine a while back, a "project" for sure and had missing pieces. I was in Ohio at the time, and on my way to Memphis and low and behold on the way pass right past Dixie Gun Works who, if you didnt know, specializes in original parts of such type of gun. I got most of the missing pieces from them and dropped the rifle off at a Gunsmith to do a few things with it and install some parts (several screws were seized so I was going to let a gunsmith do it before I tore it up). Anywho, I get to pick up my now "complete" Sharps. I'm not brave enough to try and load it...I think its too far gone but now it should look awesome if I display it and wish it could tell some stories. Below are pics of what I received. Missing forend, some screws, toggle link, saddle ring and a few odds and ends.
Its got a cool "add on", a Lawrence Pellet Primer System.
