Been looking at the various repro Sharps being offered now, and in the past. A few questions if I may;
1 Gas sealing at breech: I have seen all the posts about Pedersoli and other Italian guns needing the custom gas seal. Regarding the Garrett Sharps, do they too require custom gas seal work? I have heard the Shiloh does not typically need that work. Correct?
2. How does the Garrett compare in accuracy to the others, all other things being equal? Is anyone still using them to skirmish?
3 I have heard that the lower end Sharps from Italy had, at least at the beginning, poor locks, soft metal, breakage etc. Are the newer ones improved over time to the level of, say Pedersoli, in terms of reliability? If so, when did the quality improve? (Perhaps serial number range?)
Thanks
