    Coffee grinder Sharps

    Has anyone ever made a reproduction of this firearm? I saw one on the boob tube a few years ago that was declared a repro but never heard anything more about it.

    How about being able to purchase the parts and adapt my Garrett? Or are there drawings that could be used to duplicate the external parts?

    Not looking to do anything nefarious, just think it would be another cool gun to bring to the line. Never know when you would want a cup of coffee, or make some corn bread.

    To the best of my knowledge there are no commercially available Coffee Grinder Sharps parts available. Also, in my experience every one made after the Civil War was done so to defraud.

    Bob, there are reproduction Coffee Mill Grinder parts around, such as the new decorative household Coffee Mills on the market, which could probably be used to fabricate a Coffee Mill Sharps Carbine. You're a clever guy, so I'll bet you could add one to a reproduction Sharps Carbine. Here's a deal for you, you do it and I'll bet the SAC will issue you an individual approval card for it!

    There's what is supposed to be a real one at Chickamauga. I have no idea how many were made and whether it is what it says it is, but there's one there.

    I think I'll take up this gauntlet, John. I'm flying in the dark here. Are there ANY pictures, drawings, etc. that I could use to reproduce this? I'm especially interested in seeing both sides of the stock to see if the originals started out with a patchbox.

    OK, I found some good pictures on the National Park Service website. It's an 1859 stock.

    PS - My Garrett is a New Model 1863. Anybody got an 1859 stock they want to part with?

    I think you're approaching this wrong Bob. Think in terms of making 10. Start with whole units (new). A bunch of us will be lining up.
