BTW KW, did you notice the forearm wear on that old Buffalo Rifle? it had to have traveled 10,000 miles on horseback to get that kind of wear across a saddle, not to mention the 1000's of rounds torquing off shooting sticks.
👍👍👍
I never could get the Sharps bug either. Now my late compadre had it bad. It was sad that he could not enjoy his several Sharps rifles in his later days.
For a big bore of the era I always leaned more toward them big St. Louis built mountain rifles! 😉
