SHILOH SHARPS RIFLES FOR SALE

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 2008 catalogue price plus Federal Excise Tax (charged by Shiloh on all orders), shipping crates/packing ($35 charged by Shiloh) and $40 - $50 UPS (standard ground delivery fully insured). An added premium of $200 is also included in this price (see explanation below). 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 $30+ on average more than I charge to ship ground. This $30-$50 is a savings to the customer
A NOTE OF EXPLANATION CONCERNING MY FEE: As of SEPTEMBER 1, 2007 I am raising my fee from $150 to $200. 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 on which most shooters would be delighted to take delivery. I have fronted this time and money for the customer. So, for $200 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! NOTE: I also charge a premium of $200 over catalogue price for new in the box guns already in stock and ready for immediate delivery without any wait. ALL ORDERS PLACED AND DEPOSITS RECEIVED BEFORE SEPTEMBER 1, 2007 WILL BE CHARGED THE OLD PRICE OF $150 OVER CATALOGUE PRICE.

A NOTE ABOUT PERCUSSION SHARPS: I recently took delivery of my own personal .50 caliber percussion Shiloh- similar to this one. I load mine with standard .50 caliber cartridge bullets sized .512 and lubed with SPG. I simply open the breech, drop in the bullet and seat it into the rifling with a typical muzzle loading short starter, pour in loose powder, close breech and place a musket cap on the nipple. That's all there is to it. The last group I shot from mine at 100 yards from a clean bore had the first shot 2" out of the center of the next four shot group- these four went into .80"!!! I've been shooting percussion Shilohs since my first one arrived from the old Farmingdale, N.Y. factory in 1979. They are accurate and a lot of fun to shoot! Also note there is no Federal Excise Tax charged on percussion Shilohs.
