Need some more help sharps guys.
If you had the opportunity to pick up a pedersoli 1863 sharps sporting rifle (not conversion a paper cutter), in seemingly unfired condition but the stock has small handling marks and dings (all fixable) what would you give for it? The current asking price is $800. I belive this one has a one piece breech block with a floating chamber sleeve. Good price or keep looking? I belive cabelas at one point sold these for about $1300 but I haven't seen anything there but the 59 carbines for a long while. One in like brand new condition is on gun broker for almost $1100. But don't know if it will actually sell for that. This one is a .54 most of these (9 out of 10 I'm finding) seem to be .45s
I want a paper cutter sharps for a shooter. Something I can shoot a good deal, maybe out to a couple hundred yards. Maybe even hunt with from time to time. Not sure the little IAB carbine I just got mostly for reenacting is up to that.
