I got no idea why....but it's mine now. 1874 Shiloh Sharps with 12 rounds fired in its life.

Shiloh, it's Shiloh. There is no such thing as a "Shilo" Sharps, dammit.[u][/u]

That's nice!

Talk with Gunner or DD, one of them will show you how to shoot the hell out of it.

I have a pedersoli knockoff and my coworker has a Shiloh. Not much difference in accuracy, but the Shiloh is definitely put together better.

Congrats. I load mine with paper patched postell bullets with true blackpowder. It’s makes no difference with regard to accuracy, but it sure seems neater to shoot.

Mine has a shotgun style stock and his is straight like yours… it kicks like a mule in comparison- he was glad he went with the 45/70 vs the 45/120 he planned on initially.

20 years ago I heard the owner of the biggest gun store in the Seattle area explain how much more money a Shiloh was worth.
That man has since passed on.

Very nice!


Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.
