« on: August 17, 2005, 06:41:13 AM »
just an idea but do you guys think that a t/c carbine with 20' or so octagon bull barrel with globe front sight and williams fullproofw/ target knobs rear aperature sight....in caliber .444 marlin. 8)  call it a baby sharps.....cool!      the barrel could be stepped down (tapered) just before the frame and that part of the barrel could be round. and the walnut forend could be inleted for same and it could even have a forend tip/cap maybe blued metal or pewter!....just an idea! a wild one but don't most of us t/c owners get wild ideas!!  :lol:

I guess you could call it a baby sharps, but I don't think it would come anywhere's near the beauty of a real sharps. :D

Find the barrel blank and OTT will add the lug and chamber it.  Throw in a case color hardened frame from the custom shop and you'll have a nice looking gun!

I thought of the same thing but a 32 inch barrel for an encore.  Set up lik the H&R buffalo rifles but for the encore.

Please tell me about OTT.

A 32 inch 45-70 with peep sights would be great kind of like the H&R buffalo rifles.
