Hey All, After 25 years of searching I finally got a decent Sharps hunting rifle with nice shiny bore & no pitting…they seldom come up for sale in Australia. Has anyone got an original Lawrence patent rear sight for sale? Pics of Sharps attached hopefully! Cheers Mal
WoooHooo! I got a rear sight this morning on eBay!

Considering that it was meant to be primarily a hunting rifles, it truly is in amazing condition.  Well done!

Welcome aboard Mal,
The Sharps looks terrific. Have you run any rounds thru it yet?
