You could always go to the skirmisher home page and read the approved arms list. www.n-ssa.org/NATIONAL/skirmisher.html (http://www.n-ssa.org/NATIONAL/skirmisher.html)

H.P.: My Shiloh Sharps carbine is .54 but the Shiloh Sharps rifle I've been shooting for many years is .50. Either caliber is acceptable for N-SSA competition. The .45 caliber Sharps are not approved.
