Ive always wanted a Sharps rifle. No real reason, except it is the original long range rifle. Its not something you see every day, but I saw one go by at the 1500. It was a original sharp's receiver, and came with 2 barrels. 1 barrel was a Farlow 32-40, and the other barrel was a 45-70. The 45-70 barrel was made by the guy selling (what pushed me away from the deal, because I was mainly interested in the 45-70). The rifle was in decent shape. It had a crack in the stock, and the rear sight had very loose adjustments (probably need replaced). I'm wanting a shooter, not a show piece, so I didn't care about the cosmetic defects.
The reason I passed is
1 I dont know a ton about these rifles
2 Home made barrel
The asking price was 1700, and I thought that was fair, but I just didn't know. Did I screw up?
