Thread: Making A Quigley Sharps Rifle on my lathe.

Attachment 26642 Here is a pic of where the breech block, (not mine) fits in the receiver, and seeing that I`m making it I don`t think a standard stock would fit, would like to make one of black walnut. This rifle will be basically black powder loads or smokles and a range rifle or a Sharps business rifle, I can only make a barrel 24/25" long on my lathe, and can give it a twist of 1-24" or 1-20", not shore which is best, long range shooting uses a 1-18" twist with a .500gr bullet, I will be using .300/.450gr to save my shoulder. Trying to sort out my pic`s, cheers, Homebrew.357.
