Thread: 45/70 Subsonic

Yep , Bills the knife maker, and that 50m group was 60mm on the outer edge, at 100m it spreads to 150mm and I take a 6 0clock aim on target, at 50m and 100m it shoots 1-1/2 to 3" high. This is with the pp bullets, the lube black powder ones a bit more with the fouling. My Sharps barrel is .458" at the breech end and .457" at the muzzle, if you have seen my thread on here of how I made it it`s a wonder it shoots at all. My Marlin has all the parts ground and polished and also the trigger so it`s a lot smoother action now and lighter trigger pull. It`s also been plated with nickel and hard chrome, looks like S Steel.
, Sharps home made barrel.
, The Sharps to be.
