lucky me. last yr. my wife asked me what I wanted for my 70th b. day.
20 minutes later I owned this Sharps Carbine 50 70 original.
$2K, but the bore is mirror new just made sharp bright!

I loaded it down with 55 gr. Swiss 1 1/2, and a cream of wheat filler. 030 card wad, and 450 Lyman like the original. 1 in 20..

It prints, from a rest, inside of an INCH at 50 yards...time and time again. I guess those Indian war guys were well armed after all.

this one is not, and will never be for sale...
