Information on a Shiloh Sharps

[montana_charlie]

Well lucky me, I found the right thread.
Hey all

I just brought home my first sharps, a NY made 50-140.

I was wondering when it might have been made #40xx

It isn't necessary to pile on to somebody's existing thread.
It's perfectly fine, and probably more productive, if you start your own.

Hi All! This is Quilbily's "old friend" with the Sharps, I will get information you all ask for asap. I am begining to believe it has been rebarreled at some point. There are no visible markings on the barrel unless you pull off the for grip and then there are 3 initials and other markings that I can not make out. These are located under the lever spring. I will go through all the posts and answer as much as I can. I did call the office in Montana and their records start in the 3xxx so they have no information on it. One gunsmith told me it might have been a presentation piece form the early days of production in NY. I must get to work but will follow up tonight! Thanks for all the great input!!

Welcome to Cast Boolits. We would love to see pictures if you would be so kind.

I own a Shiloh products model 100, .54-100 perc. sporter with set triggers. Round barrel and military butt.
Serial # 26x. I bought it from a friend who bought it new in 1976. I use a NEI mould and a Shiloh Products mould that came with the gun. My hunting load is 490gr ringtail over 90gr FFF triple-seven. Target loan is Shiloh Products 425gr "wad-cutter" over 55gr FFF. By far, one of my favorite rifles.

Hardly! New York isn't even in New England, but wants to be.

I get a kick out of how rifles are described as being a "creedmoor"...and then go on to say it weighs 15 to 20 something pounds weight with double set triggers. I wonder how many modern shooters would care to touch off a real ..44-77 thru .45-100 Creedmoor with it's regulation 10lb. weight limit and minimum trigger pull of 3lb.?
