	It's a cool rifle, don't pay any attention to critics who need to be 'approved' on. Aaron

	Some of the work to the wood looks to be off, fit to the barrel is really pitiful - little things indicate that it is original wood to the gun- looks like there was a substantial chip back by the tang and all that was done in my opinion is a little finish was applied. Like I said, it is ugly - the transition from octagon to round for the brake is hideous - as is the brake but there isn't much I can modify that will hurt it's initial appearance . There is enough porting there for a 50 BMG and in a little 1:18 twist 45-70 - it's overkill- the rifle alone weighs in at 15 pounds, add a 4-16 scope... this weekend I'll go give it a try, maybe it's a sleeper?

	I must be in the extremely small minority! The only Sharps that ever intrigued me is the Borchardt. Never have been a sidehammer fan, regardless of brand. But I can understand the "need" to accumulate many more single shot rifles!

Nate thinks this one is the red headed step child. Val, I have a few of these side hammer guns and like you - they've never really done much for me, with the long transfer bar and all - I struggle getting my mind around how they can be remotely accurate - but three that I've been shooting are doing remarkable at longer ranges! I have two builds in process and one is getting the Freund conversion done to it. I'm "tweeking" the transfer bar/firing pin a tiny bit on both so we'll see where that goes. Since I've been doing these projects my opinion of the side hammer guns has changed - there still not my favorite but they've moved up a little.
