Shiloh S.C. Robinson

Post by nineteen76 »

Does anyone own one of the Shiloh made S.C. Robinson
Carbines? Any idea how many were made?
Can you tell me the markings on the receiver, lock and barrel?
Maybe some pictures?
Thanks in advance,
Chris

I know they didn’t make a lot of them and that they are sought after especially by the civil crowd.

Amigo,
Thank you for the reply.
I purchased #237, it is 100% condition, UNFIRED.
I will call and speak to Kirk about obtaining a Shiloh letter.

I believe they were made before Kirk took over the production of the Shiloh Sharps.Check the left side of the receiver it should say it was manufactured in Farmingdale ,New York

These guns were made by Wolf Droege who started Shiloh Sharps produced in New York eventually to be sold off and moved to Montana

Amigo,

Just to set the record straight; Wolf Droege moved the Shiloh Rifle company to Big Timber in the early 1980s. It was already there when he retired and sold the company.
