Period correct '74 Sharps Buffalo Rifles?

If you're into such a mess that something is going to tear the paper on a bullet, you're going to have bigger problems than that.... Sort of reminds me of the argument that you shouldn't carry a rifle butt forward in a saddle scabbard because it might hook a small tree or something and break the stock,, broken stock at that point is going to be the least of my worries.

LOL, you bet Don, another difference in Geography, you guys get to hunt the mountains and open plains, while I love to dig in deep in a creek bottom thicket and pick a fight with a buck deer and a set of rattling antlers, all in where we live and hunt ;]
