Post by: PJ Hardtack on August 18, 2017, 07:00:06 PM: Is that a Shiloh or a C. Sharps product? I've owned only one C. Sharps rifle (a '75) but currently own six Shiloh products.

I liked the [Old Reliable] logo on the C. Sharps.

A guy is trying hard to sell me a Ped SRC in 45-70. Could be useful, but I look at Peds with a jaundiced eye as past experience with them has always disappointed.

He'd have to come way down in his asking price.

PJ, if'n you look around enough you'll find older Shiloh products (made before the split) have the 'Old Reliable' markings on the barrels. A friend and I have identical 1874 rifles which both have it. Less than a hundred numbers apart, his was made in Farmingdale, NY and mine was made in Montana. He bought his in Ohio and I got mine used in Kansas. What are the odds? :)

That makes them special to me.

It's a C. Sharps hat.

Actually, I was referring to the rifle pictured along with the hat. But - C. Sharps hat = C. Sharps rifle.
