	Ok, first let’s not play the word game. Second, I have the opportunity to pick up a very nice 1863 percussion sharps carbine but it has a sewer pipe bore. Who can reline a sharps bore and is an overall a good sharps gunsmith. Thanks

	What caliber? T.J.'s make liners up to 58 caliber but they are a fast twist. May need to make a liner form a barrel that has the correct bore/groove diameter and twist rate. I may have a Sharps carbine blank in 52 caliber, will look for it.

	Found the Sharps 52 caliber carbine barrel. It was purchased about 45 years ago along with a full length rifle barrel. The rifle barrel was installed on an H&A shotgun made into a muzzle loader. Shot a mule deer with it and then traded it off. Never had a call to use the carbine barrel.
