44-100?

[Kurt]

Don.

The .44 caliber has always been my favorite calibre from the start.

I have done a bunch of research looking for any records if the Sharps Rifle company ever chambered the .44-2.6 straight. So far I have never found it listed in any catalog.
I have found a few old gun writers mention it but I don't know if it was a special custom order or a re barreled Sharps.
In the past I have had several .44's but they were all bottle necked rolling blocks.
My .44 90/100 is build on the Remington Hepburn chamber because it is based on the .45-2.6 case. I did this because I could not find a Maynard or Ballard to get a cast to keep it NRA legal for the long range matches.
Below are my three .44's. Left to right. .44 90/100/2.6 Rem. st. The .44-77/2.25 and the .44-2-5/8 bn Sharps.
