Joe LaFives #5481 Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 I have a 45-70 Shiloh Sharps Hartford model 32" Heavy Barrel, Patchbox, French Grey, has the Hartford collar and the pewter forearm tip. A very nice Lee Shaver Sight Setup as well. current cost without the sights would be about $2600 and an 18 month wait. I;m asking $2600 . I can meet at Winter Range or Ship to an FFL at your cost.
X Mark Posted February 3, 2019 Posted February 3, 2019 Joe , Can you post some pic's of this. Thx. X Mark
Silver Creek Jack Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 This rifle is a work of art, great price! BTT
El Hombre Sin Nombre Posted February 4, 2019 Posted February 4, 2019 I almost ordered mine in French Grey, but I think that would be way too expensive, since to me it just screams "engrave me", and engraving can cost as much as or even more than the rifle. Very nice rifle. Nobody can make them any better than Shiloh
Joe LaFives #5481 Posted February 5, 2019 Author Posted February 5, 2019 Actually one can have Aspen Filly or similar do an excellent job of engraving for far less but I was looking more for a very durable finish for shooting which it has been.
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted February 6, 2019 Posted February 6, 2019 FYI-Shiloh has the engraving done before heat treating. The rec'r is 8620 steel. OLG
Cemetery Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Was it even used? Looks fresh out of the box.
Joe LaFives #5481 Posted February 10, 2019 Author Posted February 10, 2019 It's been shot. First time was across the Lake to a buffalo target around 300 yards at Railhead in Williams Az. Also hit the Quigley bucket once at the same shoot.
The Coconino Pistolero, SASS # 72432 Posted February 10, 2019 Posted February 10, 2019 Dang that is a purty rifle.
Cemetery Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 I know people who shoot these tends to roll their own, but for one not setup for 45.70 rollin', this is the type of rifle that you need to be careful about what type of off the shelf 45.70 you feed it?

Shiloh builds their rifles to handle all ammo that’s loaded to SAAMI specs. For somebody who wants a 45-70 but doesn’t reload, that means they can buy any factory loaded 45-70 ammo and use it in this gun. Of course, they’ll want to save their brass ‘cause it won’t take long before they’ll get the itch to roll their own and burn the Sacred Incense. Then they’ll want a 45-110 or 50-90. Then a 38-55 on the other end of the “thud spectrum”. Sharps rifles are are a dangerous addiction.
Hashknife Cowboy Posted February 11, 2019 Posted February 11, 2019 Highly recommend these fine rifles, they are an addictive habit, kinda like SAA.....

And then a rifle caliber lever repeater & a pistol caliber set up for long range. There is no end to the fun!
BullseyeBaldee Posted February 12, 2019 Posted February 12, 2019 Zeb is correct, there is no end! Beautiful firearm. BTT
