Just picked one up ina ggod deal.  What are the collective thoughts about this rifle in 45-70.

I had one that had been rechambered to .45-100 from the original .45-70.  It was very accurate, and rather heavy, but most Sharps and their copies are heavy anyway.  Had a kind of bulbous forend compared to originals as well, but this was a special target model they made back then that had a modern style target stock on it anyway.

The only things I didn't like about it was that it retained the percussion halfcock, so the hammer went way back and looked like it was cocked, and the heavy springs.  Pedersoli could do a side business as a trap factory; everything that had a spring (lever, set-trigger, main; probably some more stuff in there) pushed or pulled hard and snapped down hard going back.  I mousetrapped my hand between the lever and the tang a few times before I learned how to avoid it.

On the other hand, I never had any "light primer strikes."

Thanks all - all observations are appreciated.
