fancy grade wood

pistol grip with double set triggers 

shotgun buttplate 

Old C. Sharps vernier sight

 

shipped to you for $2800////

34 inch barrel. Let me figure out how to weigh it! 

 

Thanks

 Stand on your bathroom scale with it in your hands. Then set it down. Subtract the second from the first. WaLa!

On the Shiloh Sharps forum page there was a discussion re: weight. According to the forum “a 34” barrel on a standard rifle will give a weight of 24 pounds”

Considering the fact that my 30” octagon shiloh #3 sporter comes in around 13.5.....and this rifle seems lighter....I would say that isn't correct. 

 

Heck, a loaded BAR weighs in right under 20 pounds.

After reading this, I had to go weigh my own Sharps. I have a 50-90 with a 30” barrel and it weighs just over 10 pounds. I got that 24 pound figure off the forum site and should have verified it before butting in to this conversation. My bad and I apologize.

No worries...you didn’t write it on that forum! How is the 50-90 compared to a 45-70 or 45-90. Never have had the opportunity to shoot one....

To be honest, I haven’t shot it yet. I finally have everything together to start loading for it and need to get some ammo built. I do have an 1859 Sharps carbine which uses a 54 caliber paper cartridge. It is considerably lighter than the 1874 50 caliber. I have been loading 90 grains of powder behind that 490 grain slug, it is a lot of fun to shoot and the recoil is not bad.

Sounds exciting....I bet it rumbles pretty good. Should be a fun one to reload for!

That is one heck of a rifle for that price.  All the bells and whistles.   Sights alone are worth a bunch.  Already have two or I would jump on it.  Good luck Preacher Kid.

What year was the gun built?  And if hunted how is the wood?  I have had a few Shiloh's and this one is set up for long range but not sure about the sights.

Is there a level on the front sight?  I am looking for a shooter.   A used Shiloh is a hard one to buy with out holding it in your hands.

I am interested enough to inquire.  One of the screws looks boogered up.  Where was the freckling?
