Now mike that in my eyes is the perfect hunting rifle. Some day I will put a rod under my barrel.

Kurt, Along with that ramrod you'll need an extended cleaning jag. The rod is too short to completely wipe the bore, at least from one end. That's because of the lever spring underneath the forearm. But that's just a slight inconvenience... Some doin's otherwise! Shoot sharp, Mike

And here is my most used Sharps, my custom classic Hartford from C. Sharps Arms in .44/77. Shoot sharp, Mike

Here's a couple of my Sharps. Raining today like cats and dogs so pics are inside

More eye candy 40/70SS.
Couldn't throw this wood away so put a badger barrel on it , refinished it planed 3/4 inch off the top of the cheek rest so I could get a cleaning rid in it. Lee Shaver squared everything up and chambered it with his reamer then reworked it to take captech brass for greasers and Hornaday brass for Paper patch. Call it my 2for 1 rifle
