I bought a Pedersoli Sharps Rifle in 2016 and love shooting it. But wear and tear took its toll. It started binding and I wasn't able to shoot but 8 rounds before it was completely bound up. A good friend of mine and I tried a few things but nothing worked. So I sent it to Larry Flees and he did very good work on it. It has a new chamber sleeve. Pedersoli's would slide back and forth. This one sits in place, it's tight, and doesn't slide back and forth. A new gas check plate. A rebuilt breech block and a new clean-out screw. It shoots like it's brand new again.

Had mine redone by Larry also. Got 10 shots off when it was new. After the rework, 89 consecutive shots with no cleaning of the action. Only stopped because I ran out of ammo. Since then I shoot it all skirmish long without having to clean the action.
