An internet friend of mine I helped with getting his 40-70 bn up and running recently got a chance at at another 74 clone. A pre farmingdale Sharps it's heavy gun with a heavy 32" barrel chambered for 50-140 and has a genuine crescent butt. I saw the pics of it. My shoulder immediately started to hurt but as Kurt says you just need to shoulder it correctly. He is a young guy and tough so I'll give him load work help but I'm sure the shooting end will be no picnic. MB
