Shiloh Rifle Forums

I purchased this fine book well over a year ago and thought that Vol 1 wasn't too far behind. I haven't seen any sign of it out there. Does anyone know if they are sill planning other volumes on this?

Sharps Firearms Early Metallic Cartridge Firearms and Model 1874 Sporting Rifles Vol. 2,
by Roy Marcot, Ron Paxton, with De Witt Bailey II & Richard Labowskie

The next volume is on it's way. Talked to Roy Marcot in Jan. and he said April.....

You mean Vol II don't you?

No, he does mean Volume #1, which is on the earlier Sharps, Volume #2 with is already out, talks more about the conversions to cartridge rifles and the 1874 models.

The volume on target rifles is the next one I'm waiting for.

In the mean time I picked up a copy of Sharps Rifles of Montana, the Austin Monk Collection from Buffalo Arms. Very different than the historical studies like Sellers and Volume II of the Marcot book, but well worth buying.

Chris.

I received my copy in the mail yesterday.

Volume I, The Percussion Era, is nice, depiction of early Sharps rifles on front with civil war scene in background.
You may hardly recognize the Sharps Rifles on the back cover.

DD,
Does that mean you have a copy? Or seen adds, listings.... I’ve been waiting since Vol II for the next one to come out.

Thanks
Don

I received my copy of Vol 1 last Wednesday.
Contact/ email Roy Marcot. His email was posted in earlier threads or try looking up Northwood Heritage Press.

Yes Don, got it last month. Just as nice as II. Worth the wait for sure.

Got the info from Roy this morning and got the check in the mail. I’ve been watching different forums for this and this was the first hint that it was out. Looking forward to getting it and reading cover to cover.

Just received my copy today. Incredibly awesome! Great photography! Looking forward to many evenings of reading through this book. Great job!
