Those are great shoes/light boots, I wear similar all the time, too bad not my size

I can sure use the brass, I’ll take them Pm sent

Are they shipping crates by ship at all? Or are they all going air freight? Been waiting so long now, a couple more weeks won’t matter if it saves $500-$1,000

Just an FYI, you probably already know, but C Sharps is the next block North on Centennial drive from Shiloh Sharps. If you’re stopping, check out both.

Here’s a Malcolm short scope (6x with recoil slide) on a 1885 Meacham. ( not a Sharps, but it shows the scope.

The length at the end is basically like a sun shade. It just spreads out the length on longer barreled guns.you can remove the front sight dovetail and extend it to the end, with a longer extension

There’s something very nostalgic about shooting Buffalo guns, Lever guns and Single action revolvers. Hunting with them too. Also have similar caliber lever guns and many 1885 designs ( no Italians) in all the “Sharps Rifle Calibers”. A repeating 50-110 Lever gun, gets your attention, but...

Here’s a couple 1874 sharps. A 45-70, 30” Long Shiloh Sharps, and a 45-110, 34” C Sharps. I use them when hunting in Canada and cannot handgun hunt.

I hunt regularly with a 10” scoped Freedom arms FA83 and 5” custom 5 shot Ruger Bisley. Loaded with hand loads and heavy bullets, it is much more effective than you would think. The 41 FA along with one in 475L are going with me on the HHI handgun hunt next year

Matt, You should check out Handgun Hunters International. We organize groups of hand gun hunters on African safari’s every two years. The 2025 Hunt has already filled (sold out) two camps, but there’s already one or two interested party’s looking to book into a third camp.

I have a buddy that has family that owned a chrome plating shop. He did a complete springbok head and horns in nickle chrome. It looked pretty good, I like copper or something similar

Is it done like they do to coat plastic car parts with metal? a spray on metallic primer, then charge it electrically to bronze, copper, brass etc coat it. Even a painted on surface coating would look good.

It’s the lightest tripod I’ve used, that has lock down legs for height, not the twist to tighten legs. Twist legs will collapse with light pressure. The head pops off on one pin, (switcharoo setup) so you can carry a spotting scope on a mount and switch easily. It is an extremely stable platform...

I have a Big pod rest on an adrenaline tripod, with a one hand trigger camera mount for adjustment. It is a fantastic shooting platform, set up for me, mainly shooting scoped revolvers.

I’ve stayed at the Afton house a few times, great place, wonderful meals included.
