So I just found out Chiappa makes a Little Sharps line of scaled down Sharps rifles in calibers like .357 magnum, .45 colt, and .30-30 that weigh just 6 lbs and come with tang sights and double set triggers. Anyone know if these are any good? They sound comfy.
They are probably pretty good.
pass the whisky
miss that game so much
That game had a disgustingly high skill ceiling. I used to be able to kick someone across the room concurrent with a lunch disarm, steal their gun midair and sink a headshot before they landed. Then inran into some chucklefrick who would make me his b***h with a swarm of throwing knives and a volcanic lmao.
What's the game anons?
Fistful of Frags
I only have experience with a .357 but it was simply tremendous
>with a .357 but it was simply tremendous
> this makes my boner feel tremendous
Would you care to elaborate? nohomo
thats pretty cool, I've always wanted a single shot .45LC or .357 rifle
>MSRP $1,400
...and I guess I'm going to keep on wanting one now
Supposedly dealer pricing can get down to $1k.
These prices aren’t that bad for replica single shots. Better made ones from Italy or the USA can easily be double that price at minimum depending on the type of the gun and the quality of the build.
Tippmann rolling blocks run around $1000 and pedersolis are $13-1400 online used if you shop around. Not sure about sharps/falling blocks because I'm more of a rolling block autist personally
I had my mind on those fancy 1874 reproductions that cost and arm and a leg when I made that comment. Such pretty rifles out of my price range :’(
Pedersolis are so expensive but so kino looking. My dream gun is one of their Ithaca Auto & Burglar reproductions but the price is outrageous for what would pretty much be a range toy that maxes out at 7 yards
frick you for making me think Pedersoli made an actual A&B clone
.410 ones did exist IRL so even if it's basically just a glorified overpriced Taurus Judge to avoid the NFA it's not *thaaaaaat* inaccurate
>Chiappa
Its like you want to waste your money
The Sharps 1874 tend to be on the expensive side due to greater materials and machining.
You could also get a Browning 1885 Low Wall(for small cartridges, the Hi Wall is the traditional big chamberings.) They tend to be cheaper because they're simpler. It's still a falling block action which is my preferred action for single shots. Strong nearly like a Ruger No1.
Those look fricking sexy, but I’d rather put the money into a large bore single shot or lever gun for some practical use
That sounds incredibly nice but my only experience with Chiappa was a '92 in .357 where one lug didn't touch the locking surface and the other was not square to its locking surface.
That sounds nearly impossible, the reciever had to have been out of spec or the lugs themselves were. By the 92's very nature it's a tight fit
The only thing I have disliked about the Chiappa 92s in my time working on them are the parts designs themselves. They redesigned a lot of parts, in many cases unnecessarily, and they seem to function as well as anything else or slightly worse. I found on those guns the cartridge guides tended to be the single most fricked up part because they cause the rim of the cartridge to put a lot of unnecessary downward force on the carrier when it's fully tented.
The redesigns seem to be an Italian thing in general because Pedersoli 1886 have those design quirks, but I never had challenges with them.
Speaking of single shot chiappas are Little Badgers memes? The one that could completely break down and fit in a tube that was at the last Shot Show piqued my interest a bit.
fricking look at the thing and think seriously about what contrived scenarios might call for such and tell me it's not a meme
>what contrived scenarios might call for such
Smuggling into a federal prison?
RIP in peace your butthole
I mean I'd probably take the 1913 rails off first.
>probably
Not sure what to do about the hammer, though.
>357 magnum
So you're telling me I could thread the end for a silencer and run 38 spl through it?
Why do I think this is the coolest fricking thing?
