I don’t come here much but when I do I realize what I’ve been missing. Gorgeous rifles all!

Been a member here for 15 yrs. but mostly just look, and rarely post. I'm pretty much only a single shot collector, and almost exclusively Ballard rifles, Rolling Blocks, and Hepburn rifles. I do have one Sharps, and original sold to Gove in Denver, Co. in Feb. 1880 and reworked by Freund. It's a .50-140 chamber, and weighs 16 lbs.




Some of my others.

Couple other Schoyens, top in .38-55 with false muzzle, and lower in .32-40. And some related tools from Schoyen-Peterson.

Is the Sharps a Gemmer?

Stevens Favorite, Model of 1915, with 24-3/4” Green Mountain barrel and Black Nitride treated steel. Unfortunately, I used a sporting chamber reamer instead of match. Still shoots pretty darn good, though maybe coulda been even better.

marlinguy, that is quite a collection. Beautiful rifles! I am more than a little envious.
Do you ever shoot some of them?

:::tipping his hat in respect:::hats off to Marlinguy. Outstanding collection!

This is my Haenal Aygt , 8.15X46R Shuetzen.
Really fun to shoot at 200 meters!


Grand Dad's Snider with a Peddie rear sight installed for long range targets.

100 yards. Offhand I'd say I kinda like this'n.

Beautiful stuff.

No, it's a Gove-Freund Bros. Gove also did these conversions to add the wiping rod under the barrel. Freund Bros. did numerous improvements to Sharps 1874 models including a camming breech block, dual extractors, two piece firing pin, and hammer that lifted so the Sharps didn't have to go to half cock prior to opening the lever. This Freund-Sharps has all the improvements, and has George Freund's Durango, co. stamp on the receiver.

I have a couple dozen Ballards, and about the same number of Remingtons, and I make ammo for all of them, and shoot all of them. Mostly long range, or schuetzen 200 yd., but I've taken a number of deer with some of them also.

Thanks. It's been many years of searching, and traveling to out of state shows to find most. I'll try to post some more of them soon.

You should come to the big Tulsa Show, if you haven't already been there.
