       The following list of Shiloh Sharps includes only rifles that are in stock for immediate delivery or have actually gone "active."  This means they are either in production or are scheduled to be in production in the immediate future. The due dates are based on a production time of approximately 2-3 months from the time the paid orders go "active" (activation means the rifles are on the floor being built at the Shiloh factory).  This is approximate, but usually is within a few weeks (before or after) the estimated due date.  With the exception of additional sights, specs on these rifles cannot be changed.  The prices shown are DELIVERED PRICES. They are based on the current 2011 catalogue price plus Federal Excise Tax (charged by Shiloh on all orders),  shipping crates/packing ($40 charged by Shiloh) and $50 - $65 UPS (standard ground delivery fully insured). An added premium of $200 is also included in this price.  Note: If Shiloh raises prices, my price has to go up the same amount. There are NO ADDITIONAL CHARGES.  Remember, Shiloh is currently in a long backorder situation on these orders.  I can also place a custom order for you- any model, caliber, options, etc., and have it in usually about THREE-FOUR months. Also note, I ship ground UPS fully insured.  Shiloh will only ship 2nd. Day Air UPS which costs about $55+ on average more than I charge to ship ground. This $40-$70 is a savings to the customer. Generally, a $1,000 deposit is required on all custom orders or to reserve one of my rifles already on order.  Balance due when the rifle is ready for shipment.

                                            NEW PRICING!!! (STARTING 8/15/11)

 

 

NEW & REVISED PRICING ON RIFLES IN STOCK NOW OR ORDERED AS IN STOCK RIFLES BY ME!

I am fully aware of how difficult this economy has been on everyone.  To try to help out, I've stopped charging a premium on rifles currently in stock or rifles on order as stock inventory.  Prices shown will now reflect CATALOGUE PRICES INCLUDING SHIPPING & INSURANCE WITH NO ADDITIONAL FEES ADDED! This is my way of thanking the shooting fraternity and my loyal customers.  Let's hope things improve soon. 

 

 

 

                                                        NOTE:  MOST  RIFLES  CAN BE ORDERED  AND CUSTOMIZED TO YOUR EXACT SPECIFICATIONS WITH AN APPROX. DELIVERY DATE OF ABOUT MAY/JUNE 2012.

A NOTE OF EXPLANATION CONCERNING MY $200 FEE FOR CUSTOM ORDERED RIFLES ONLY (SEE HEADING DIRECTLY BELOW):  I am often asked how I set my fees.  Basically, here is the answer.  If you were to place your own order with Shiloh, you'd put down a $250 deposit on each rifle.  About 20 or more months later you would be notified that full payment is required to begin making your rifle (there would also be an excellent possibility of price increases during this time which you would pay).  From there you'd wait another three months for your rifle to be completed.  This is where I come to the rescue! I've already put down tens of thousands of dollars in deposits at Shiloh for a multitude of future rifles.  I constantly am paying for rifles to be built- nicely appointed custom rifles of which most shooters would be delighted to take delivery.  I have fronted this time and money for the customer. So, for my $200 fee,  you'll save 2 years of back order, not encounter any future price increases, not pay the full amount of your rifle until it is completed, and be shooting your rifle while other Shiloh customers are playing the waiting game!

ANTIQUE - ORIGINAL SHARPS RIFLES FOR SALE-   FOR PHOTOS GO TO MY ANTIQUE  ARMS WEBSITE AT www.goodmanguns.com

  1.  SHARPS 1878 BORCHARDT .45-70 30" ROUND BARREL SPORTING RIFLE, Almost all the big caliber Borchardt Sporters were shipped West where they saw hard use. They were made in limited numbers and are very hard to find today, this is a fine example with matching barrel and receiver numbers, excellent wood with correct checkered steel shotgun butt plate, fine aged barrel blue with some shallow pin-prick pitting on the right side of the barrel just ahead of the forend (minor), uncleaned gray/brown patina receiver, original front and rear sights, exc. markings including the Old Reliable barrel marking, exc. bore, safety functions properly, tight action, rarely seen western sporter in a great caliber, $3950.
  2. SHARPS PISTOL-RIFLE,  NUMBER 2X, .38 CAL. PERCUSSION, 28" BARREL, ONLY ABOUT 650 MADE IN THE 1850s, made by C. Sharps, Philadelphia, this one takes the "mule ear" cartridge, rarely encountered today and many of those found now are in hard used and often abused condition, this one has excellent wood with fancier than standard grain- never sanded or even cleaned! Metal surfaces deep, uncleaned aged brown patina with some scattered shallow pitting on the barrel- blends and not readily apparent, fine action, hammer only is a replacement, correct  original rare tube rear sight, bore will clean out fine or better, markings visible but light, fine action, Flayderman's Guide (now four years old) lists these in Fine condition at $6000. My price $3950.
  3. SHARPS 1878 BORCHARDT .45-70 MILITARY MUSKET, vine overall with nice slightly aged barrel , receiver blue a bit more aged with some thinning and brown mixing, exc. fore stock with "16" stamped in small numerals on the left side ahead of the receiver, , fine butt stock with a small repaired sliver by the receiver on the upper left side- hard to see, correct checkered steel butt plate, original swivels, fine action, safety functions properly, original sights, exc. markings, bore should scrub out about exc., needs cleaning rod only, $2250.
  4. COLORFUL HEAVILY FRONTIER USED SHARPS 1868 .50-70 SADDLE RING CARBINE, wonderful display piece, yet fully working and a decent bore! Heavily weathered and worn stock- old chip at the upper left tang juncture, with matching forend that shows a great deal of saddle wear, dark and totally uncleaned metal with good Sharps markings on the receiver, original sights with the Lawrence rear ladder sight needing the slide only, hammer screw head gone and the top half of the hinge pin broken (common), top tang has the usual crack on each side of the upper tang screw- again common, fine tight action, very probably an Indian used Sharps, lots of miles and stories in this one! (looks better than in photos) $1295.
  5. VERY UNUSUAL SHARPS 1874 .45-70 FACTORY CONVERSION SPORTING RIFLE WITH 28" HEAVY ROUND BARREL, DOUBLE SET TRIGGERS, MODEL 1869 LOCK PLATE, MADE 1877-1880, this is NOT the usual "Meacham Conversion" Sharps, but one built by the Sharps factory, The barrel is about the same contour of a typical Business Model rifle, but IS NOT marked "Business .45," instead it has "CAL. 45 2 1/10" stamped on the left side of the barrel as would be found on a sporting rifle, the barrel number matches the converted receiver number (and there are no other numbers crossed or stamped out), further the barrel has the usual Sharps markings and Bridgeport address with the "Old Reliable" marking with bracket around it, the number on the inside of the butt plate is four digit and was probably a left over part from a returned Borchardt model that was utilized as the rifle has a Bridgeport style shotgun butt, double set triggers need an adjustment to work properly, but the front trigger works fine, adjustment screw is intact, forend is of the schnable sporting type (not the rounded Business Rifle type), barrel is a smooth dark plum and uncleaned, receiver is also dark with traces of Sharps markings on the left side, wood is dark and weathered but basically solid with only a couple small age cracks starting back from the lower tang but going nowhere, forend showsVERY HEAVY SADDLE WEAR, bore is dark and a little worn, but has good rifling and should rate fine to fine+, this is a really unusual Sharps Sporter that obviously saw a great deal of Western use.  $3950.
