Wayne you are right it is a Shiloh Sharps, 45-70 34" heavy barrel, these are fun guns to shoot but kick like the dickens! Gary

Here Here Gary couldn't agree with you more

They are fun to shoot and it seems that I cant resist them. I own four of them. The largest of them is a C Sharps in 50/90.

I have 2 the other is a Pedersoli it has 4 buffalo in gold and a moose in gold on it nice gun that shoots well too! gary

My man cave is the basement a suitable place for most things C.O.B. I just got the basement finished about a year ago and we (this means the wife) haven't decided on flooring yet.

some more...it's a big basement:)

I had a Shiloh Sharps in a very large 50/140. You want to talk about a kick. I had a guy beg me to shot it and I warned him about the way the gun jump up when the 725 gr. bullet leave. "no problem" was his reply. The rest of the day, he walked around with a black eye. It was not too hard on the shoulder but boy does it jump at the muzzle. It also was not cheap to shoot. Back about 15 years ago, I bought 2 boxes of ammo for it and was glad to get them. They were $125 per 20 rounds. Frank

Now that the Martha Stewart portion of our tour is over here is where the real work of load development, ammo manufacture, storage and just general overall gun stuff goes. And yes it pretty much always looks like this.

I really like the african mounts. very nice

Boy those last two pic's looks a lot like my loading room except I keep the bullets,cases,and powder in another room which also happens to look like a mess. I load for all my sharps. Buying black powder ammunition is royally expensive. I had also owned a 45/120 and I am happy to report that someone else owns it now. The 50/90 is all I care for.

Are any of your guns C. Sharps guns out of Montana? The only one I have seen was spectacular

Since some are sharing art work.

I have the cowan print, but it isn't back from the framer yet so have to settle for the image.

Like the flowing well saw that when you first posted it. also really like that last picture of the dogs and hunters. i have an Alan Brown signed and numbered print of a brittany pointing a pheasant along a fence post.

It's a Cowan print entitled Bad Windmill.

Wayne, Yes the one in the gun room in the photo, ammo 165.00 for 50 rounds 405 grain, Gary

Wayne I load for everything. 12,16,20,28,7410 for shotguns. The hulls and wads are kept in the shed they just take up more space than I have. Center fire goes from 22 Hornet to a 450-400 Nitro express. Factory ammo for the 450-400 is $7/round:eek:

COB, where's the mount of the African poacher?? :rotf: I loved that story!!

It's funny you mention that. He's probably been recycled back into the bush. The original plan was to hunt a Lioness and if successful I was going to mount her life size stalking a native. The native would of course be a mannequin but he was to be in the position of taking care of business:rolleyes: There wasn't enough left of the poachers dog to do anything with but the night shift of the bush cleaned him up.

One of my favorite man cave prints.. Brian Jarvi's Parker and Woodcock

Very Nice! A late Trojan twenty-bore for woodcock is good medicine!

John that is a very nice print

That is a very nice one. Went looking for it online but no dice.

Here's mine!

Leighton
