Hello
I am the original owner of a Garrett Sharps, 50/140 3 1/4, that I only have 10 cases for. I have only shot this rifle 20 times,long ago. I bought it new in 1983.
I put it in my gun safe, and forgot about it. I still have the box, all the paper work, and the mold that came with it.
Well, I would like to find some more cases for it. Back then they were expensive, and very hard to find.
Any advice on where to get some more would be appreciated.

Thanks, Rebel Dave

Dave, for the price of the brass, it may be cheaper to re-barrel the rifle into a more common caliber. Since you apparently don't shoot it much, I believe you would like a .45-70 much better for a plinker.
I had a Garret, very nice rifles. We re-worked mine, removing the primer feed part, took a quarter inch out of the hammer throat, and made it a lot slicker rifle. I also found the original Sharps parts fit the internals perfectly.
