Sharps 1859,
Will wonders never cease. I had no idea Shiloh offerred Dbl. Set triggers. I too shoot a bullet from a mould that came with the carbine from Shiloh, it casts a wad cutter type at right around 415 g. and is called "The Buffalo Slug." It is very accurate to for me to about 150 yd. and then loses its stability by 200 yd. Then I use a traditional style ring tail from NEI, both with a paper cartridge and a nitrated base only, bullet intregal. I would someday like to try a different sighting system,(removable and unmarrable) that might really let me see what it can do past my ability with the Lawrence military sight. You are shooting well.
Patch box on a Shiloh Farmingdale carbine guys? We need a book on Shiloh '63's from beginning to now I believe.
