I always liked them

No reason required to post pictures of those.
My obligatory posting of the all too familiar Quigley video is, of course, questionable.
"The legendary Sharpes."

Can't beat a Sharp's.50

 

[Gray Dood]

No particular reason needed.

I've never owned one but have always admired them. Thanks for posting them.

Pics always welcome.

Someone should really buy me a Shiloh. I’ll wait. I’m nice like that.

If I were younger I'd endure the wait times.

I got 2. A .45-70 and a .50-70. Definitely worth the wait.

Does a baby Sharps count?

Chiappa Little Sharps in .357 magnum.

I visited Sharps and their neighbor C. Sharps a few years ago in Big Timber Montana.
Both places had some truly beautiful rifles.
All I managed to acquire was a coffee mug from Sharps.
I love the mug but would rather have had a new rifle.

I hate you.

When I was in high school, one of my buddies invited me to his house. I walked in the door, and there hanging on the living room wall was an original "Coffee Mill" Sharps Carbine. Don't know which caliber, and wasn't allowed to touch it, but I sure wish it was hanging on my wall right now.

An Official Journal Of The NRA | The Breechloading Sharps: History & Performance

The Sharps breechloader was a truly innovative design that came right on the eve of America's western expansion. The lever-action design helped to secure the west and excelled on the target ranges as well.

At one time I owned 7 Shilohs but now I’m down to just one in 45-90 .

THIS IS NOT A SHARPS BUT IT IS IN GREAT SHAPE BOUGHT IT WHEN I WAS 10 YR (1958 ) OLD FROM AN OLD MAN THAT HAD A GROCERY STORY THAT WAS RETIRING. HE LET ME HAVE IT FOR $25. I PLAYED WITH IT AND TOOK GOOD CARE OF IT. DON'T KNOW WHAT ITS WORTH.

The Brit conversion of obsolete muzzleloaders along the lines of what we did with our Trapdoor Springfields.
