Any collectors out there? Postscript: If with Ruger #3 Carbine in 45/70 watch knuckles on trigger hand as firing as contacting breech drop lever! Thanks &... Best!

John Observation RE spelling of said rifle name. As in it is incorrect. Too close for irons, switching to scope...

Swapped it for a M1952 Mannlicher-Schoenauer .257 Roberts, but that's another story. "You can lead a man to logic, but you cannot make him think." Joe Harz "Always certain, often right."

Especially compared to the image of "Sharps" with such falling block and oversized hammer attendant. Seems a super advanced rifle conpared with such as the Ruger Number 1 series which a conjure at the 'mass produced' gold standard. The main learning experience here is its 'off radar' for much use or interest. Thanks for the reply gentlemen and I've noted that spelling correction, "No "S"!" Best! John
