Could you post pictures? Curious,I just bought a Pedersoli Sharps Rifle and own another manufacturer Sharps Carbine wondering what it is used for.

Do you stil have it?
I got 1 of those if someone needs it my sharps is a marciano and cant be removed-Least I cant see where it comes out-What do you guys think?
I need one for my pedersoli
Dixie Gun Works has the Pedersoli chamber sleeve removal tool for $14.95. It is made of brass. I have several which I fashioned out of rubber which work just as well and only cost about a dollar. At your local hardware store describe a rubber cylinder which is around 3/4 of an inch in height with various diameters. I think I used the 5/8 inch diameter. The center has metal threads which accept a screw that expands the rubber cylinder when tightened. There is a collar on the top edge which should be shaved off so the entire cylinder fits snugly into the chamber sleeve. Simply insert, tighten, put in a rod, and tap on it to loosen the sleeve. I have found that regular cleaning and lubing the sleeve greatly facilitates smooth operation of the Sharps carbine and rifle.

Does the chamber sleeve in an original Sharps come out as part of cleaning and maintenance, or were they fixed in place?
Thanks for your reply,

I do not have an original. I was told though that the sleeves for the originals were fixed in place by a seating tool that the armorer drove in from the muzzle end so that the sleeve was snug against the gas check plate. When wear resulted in the fit becoming a bit loose, the armorer repeated the procedure if the wear was not greatly uneven. So, the original chamber sleeves must have been pretty tight fitting in order for a forced fit to work.
