I just picked up a 1874 that needs the springs for the set triggers and also a main spring. Any good sources?

Thanks. But I thought C Sharps had closed or been sold? Guess not.

Dixie Gun Works still had surplus main springs recently for about 25 bucks.  I got three then but one was a factory second.  Cheap enough for originals.

Hello JHM,
Give Lucinda a call at Shiloh Sharps, Big Timber, MT. They say all of their parts will interchange with an original 1874 Sharps.  Cool  Not all other manufacturers can say that with truth.  Undecided Their Contact numbers are on their Website.

I'm sure Shiloh wishes so... LOL

If your rifle is not in 7.62 and you can't hit what you are aiming at with de-linked machinegun ammo you are a pretender.

C sharps or Dixie for parts if it's not a Shiloh. Shiloh parts are pricey not necessarily better.

The funny thing about C Sharps and Shiloh. Thaking the fractory tour at Shiloh there are lots of pople in the shop working and machines running . Walk a cross the street to C Sharps there was only 2 cars in the parking lot the guy in the show room and one guy in the shop and no machines running and no fractory tour. Talking with a few pople that live around there they say its like that all the time. And there qustion was who builds the C Sharps rifles. I live in sw Washington state and only been there 1 time on a monday maybe they work 4/10 in the shop and dont work monday  and I can only go by what the locals told me   ken

JHM - you never mentioned who made the rifle.  If it's a Pedersoli - VTI Replica Gunparts is your source

Not really sure. It has no markings and only a number on the underside of the top tang. It I think is a kit gun of some sort. The parts I got from Shiloh all fit except the tumbler. I am going to return it and try some other sources. The tumbler is thicker and will not fit. Other than that the gun looks for all the world like an original. The screws are all US thread and not metric. I really think it could be one of the kits that were offered by Tools International and a few others a few years back. Thanks for the input.

Elves, elves build C. Sharps rifles. All of them save the barrels, used to use Badger barrels but I believ they are now using GMs...
