Did anyone see this one on gunbroker? It is a unique looking gun that I guess is an original action and barrel with new Shiloh wood. I would love to have one built like it

Gemmer Sharps


Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Bit of a mongrel, that.

The Gemmer was a HUNTING rifle, and the mods Gemmer offered for the '74 intended specifically for that task.

I don't think he'd be to tickled at what's happened to his work.

No flame on the good folks in Big Timber,...they build what folks want.

That thing looks like a grizzled old Hivernan jumped in bed with a fancy London Heiress, and the result's a strange kid.

Been shagging Teresa Hienz Kerry. While that idiot husband of hers is off screwing everything up, I've been scr*win' her.

Somewhere off in the distance, one hears Tony Bennet singin', "Just a Gigolo", in a piano bar,...out in the parking lot, neon light glistens off the tail fins of real American cars,....
