I originally posted this in the single shot rifles forum (not actually knowing what "BPCR" actually stood for )...

I have a paper cartridge 1863 45 cal. Sharps (NY Made in the 1970's) with some mild bore pitting.

Is there a source for a new barrel, or any smiths that can reline it?

Evenin' BCmm,....try and scout up a fellow named Ron Smith, over in Alberta,....he'd be THE fella to talk too, last I heard.

Ron Smith P.O. Box 635. Wimborne, Alberta Canada T0M 2G0

If you can get it down into Montana, C. Sharps, Big Timber will do you right, too.

Luck, Hoser !

Thank you for the info, Sir.
With the new age of border nonsense, keping it here in Canada will be WAY easier.

BTW, i don't need luck. I just need one clear shot...
