I have a Garrett Sharps .54 that I picked up from a reenactor friend. I decided to live fire it, so I've poured bullets, made muslin cartridges, and took it out. At 25 meters (my son's soccer field) I put a decent grouping a bit to the right and up a bit within an acceptable target. At 6 rounds, it was impossible to drop the breech. Shooting fffg, about 45 grains. Does the Garret have a sliding sleeve? I didn't notice any blowback, but I would have hoped to get off more that 6 before cleaning. I don't know much about the Garretts, I carried an Armi Sport or and IAB reenacting, but traded those off. It does have a working primer system. Any clues where I can find a good source of info on the Garretts?
Thanks in advance,
Smitty
