I do not see a sharps section so figured I?d ask here.
I have a Sharps Carbine converted to 50/70 but I do not believe it is a new model 1863 as there is nothing stamped in front of or behind the rear sight. There is a cartouche next to the ring bar and serial number is
C18716 which from what I can find means 118716??? Not sure of the year of manufacture as I can?t find a database on serial numbers.
Since this carbine is 50/70 can I use the same loads that the 1869 cadets used or are these rounds completely different?
Thanks for any help and I apologize for putting a question on sharps carbines here in the trapdoor group.
Also, it seems that this carbine has spent time in the saddle as the stock has saddle wear on the stock.
