Beware of the IAB sharps
Pedersoli is the better one.

If you look in enough places you will probably run across Sharps pattern rifles carrying the Uberti name. They just started marketing them this year.
They are built by Pedersoli...just so you know.
Here are the retail sites I monitored when I was looking for a rifle:
http://www.dixiegunworks.com/advance...=M1874+or+1874
http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas/en/co...equestid=53409
http://www.cherrys.com/ped_cart.htm
And here are the online 'second hand' sites:
http://www.gunsamerica.com/2369/2369-random-1.htm
http://www.gunbroker.com/
http://www.auctionarms.com/
On these last two sites, just type in the search terms, '1874 or Sharps' (no quotes) to get to the good stuff.

Retired...TWICE. Now just raisin' cows and livin' on borrowed time.
Try contacting Buffalo Arms. They get a lot of trade in's pass through, and they know how to grade a rifle.
