Been reading exhaustively about the various Sharps percussion guns and their leakage problems. It seems that the given, is, that they need to be modified to mostly eliminate the leakage from the experts mentioned here many times. However, in several posts across the net, I hear the Shiloh versions leak little and mostly do not need the breech block fix. Is this true? If so, why? Do they have better tolerances, fitting, than the rest? From what I can see, they appear very similar to the other repros. Your thoughts?
