1877 build

Post by vikingsword »

Howdy sharps shooters, I'm in the process of building an 1877 sharps from a bare receiver and collecting all the necessary springs , screws and bolts are proving a bit difficult to come by., in fact, finding a diagram, blueprint, or photo's are also hard to come by. I know the 1877 is a trimmed down version of the 1874 to reduce weight, but I do not know if all the internals are the same, or if some parts are dimensionally different. Now I know the lever bolt is different, but can I for the most part, be searching for 74 parts for the block, toggle, and lever and spring? I've acquired some parts from the folks at C sharps, and wasn't crazy about paying $10 a piece for bridle screws. The folks at Shiloh told me flat out they don't sell pats outright, so I'm left hunting for parts on the forums. I'm able to make a good many parts on my lathe and mill, but without proper dimensions there is no starting point. Anybody out there that could help me? Thanks guys for your time! Wes
