Free Book - But it will cost you
« on: March 13, 2014, 12:10:00 PM »
I was going through my library today and noticed I had an extra copy of "Sharps Rifle, The Gun That Shaped American Destiny" by Martin Rywell.

It is a small book and not overly expensive, and I want to send it to someone who may be wanting a copy. I am willing to send it for free to the first person who posts a picture of themselves in full costume holding a sharps rifle.

Lets see if we get any takers.

Hey Ranch13,

Are you saying you shoot costumed as an Antelope?

Here's another. This was taken at the 125th Manassas back in 1986. The rifle is my New Model 1859, which could have been there 125 years earlier.

I remember that event, HOT as blue blazes.

You may recall, The guy playing McDowell ordered a escorted ride through the Union encampment  ::)

and the Concord landing at Dulles at the height of the battle.

Don't need a free book but here's an old one of me. I've aged and the rifle now sports an RHO scope.

Ok, Real quick ....

Jayhawker .... WOW ... I love that picture. I plan on having one of me done up like that when I get all settled in Texas. I always wanted one like that. Where was that taken?

Pitspitr ... Lookin' sharp ... Is that a muskrat hat or buffalo hat? I also love the coat ... did you make them?


Thanks,

Sorry for the tardy reply.
I made the coat, or more precisely helped make the coat. The hat is an original Army seal skin hat.
