Rafe Conager SASS #56958 Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Morning Greysmoke, you are looking for the holygrail of Sharps, very few originals were ever made in 45 cal. Percussion most were 54 cal. And to my research and knowledge their are no reproduction companies that make one. Now someone may have better information than me might be able to steer you better but I have been researching them for a while now. I'm sure you could have one built but be ready to pay.

Looks like a fun shooter. Check out MannyCA video. He is loading it loose also. This cannon will surely put a smile on your face and a bruise on your shoulder.

Preacher Clint Posted December 21, 2020 Share Posted December 21, 2020 Shiloh made .45 caliber 1859 percussion sharps, and Pedersoli made the percussion sporting rifle in .45 cal as well. They are a different animal than the centerfires. They seal the chamber by either a floating gas check plate or a sliding chamber sleeve. I've been shooting them since 1990. At present I own an Armisport .54 cal Infantry Rifle, but I have owned three Shiloh Percussion models, One Garrett and two Pedersoli's. You shot my Armisport at the Texas Peacemakers range in Tyler during a monthly match back in the day. I load paper cartridges and cast my own bullets. Lots of fun, but finicky and quirky.

F. Greysmoke ,#12093 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Share Posted December 22, 2020 Thanks for remmembering my faulty memory! I thought I shot your break open 50 cal that had the rubber tubes that contained the powder. Anyway, Merry Christmas pard and thanks for being such a great friend all of these years?
