All that needs to be done now is to stamp "1874 SHARPS 45-70" on thetop of the barrel, then get it blued. Homebrew.357.
    Attachment 47922, 50m, shooting sticks, one more shot.
    Attachment 47923, last shot.

    Attachment 47924, My baby got hot.
    Good to see you both got through unscathed.
    Top effort Doug.
    Real guns start with the number 3 or bigger and make two holes, one in and one out
