1877 Sharps Article Finished For "Rifle" Magazine

[Kirk Stovall]

This project started over 5 years ago when I ordered my 1877 Sharps from Shiloh Rifles in Big Timber, Montana. What was expected to be a 15 month wait turned into 5 years. Finally this October, I got the rifle in time to use it for the hunting season.

I was able to shoot turkey, antelope and a deer with it. Mike Venturino and I worked on an article for "Rifle" magazine, combining my smokeless loads and hunting with his research on the 1877 and black powder loads. Once finished, the gun is magnificent and the article quite enlightening to the history and use of the rare 1877 Sharps...

Ken, it is in the current edition of Rifle. If you don't have a subscription I recommend getting one. Rifle, BPCR News, and Rifle Handloader are my favorite gun rags. All of these are found for sale at Barnes and Noble. This article is a good one.

What I like best is that Kirk went hunting right away with the 1877!
