SCARCE SHILOH SHARPS 1863 .54 CALIBER PERCUSSION OCTAGON SPORTING RIFLE,
Description: SCARCE SHILOH SHARPS 1863 .54 CALIBER PERCUSSION OCTAGON SPORTING RIFLE, #5XXX, PROBABLY MADE ABOUT 1980. This is a Farmingdale, NY made rifle before the move to Montana. It features a straight stock, case hardened steel military butt plate, double set triggers, 30" standard octagon barrel fitted with a semi-buckhorn Lawrence ladder rear sight with elevation slide (an additional new full buckhorn Lawrence ladder rear sight is also included with this rifle), double set triggers and case hardened receiver, lever and hammer. the stock and forearm are medium/dark straight grained walnut. Octagon Sporters are much harder to find than the military carbine 1863s. Weighs approx. 10 lbs. This one is in about like new condition. These can be fired using a paper cartridge or, as I shoot them (I have several Shiloh '63 Sporters I've been shooting for decades) with breech seated lubed bullet and loose powder with percussion musket cap. With good target sights, these will shoot as accurately as cartridge models. Loads of fun without having to reload brass cartridges!
