Sharps is NOT, I REPEAT NOT sold pending funds to Dan from New York.

Due to circumstances beyond my control, the sale of my IAB Sharps has fallen through and is now again on the market.

$650, delivered to the fort next week.

Barrel stamp is AC, meaning proofed in 1977.

Tall front sight, bright clean bore, good trigger, Ampco bronze gas check conversion done by Larry Flees.
Use Charlie Hahn tubes, 1 1/4" long, loose powder or nitrated paper cartridges.

Would make an excellent starter carbine for a new skirmisher.


I'll be arriving on Tuesday if anyone would like to inspect the carbine.
