I am in need of a couple Garrett 1863 carbine parts. Does anyone out there have a way to
contact Mr. Garrett?
Doubt that he has any parts still available, but he might know of someone who does.
Thanks in advance for your help.

"Bob" is it? Might be best just to make a pilgrimage to the Spring National and speak with Garrett yourself. He is usually at his sutler booth on Sutler's Row. If he doesn't have the parts you need, check with Terry Kirkpatrick (Antique Guns and Gun Parts) of Clarksville, VA. (434) 374-0756

Last contact info I had for Garrett was from 1985 when (I think) he lived in Newport News. I ordered one of his 1859 Sharps carbines.

Frank Garrett has been very poor health for several years and will be of no help to you finding parts. He has not been at Nationals for several years. Charlie Hahn may be your best bet for any repairs or work on your Garrett Sharps. Original parts may fit it or parts from another manufacturer might need to be modified to work.

I'm told that parts that will fit an original will fit a Garrett Sharps.
