Sharps percussioncarbine

[Adam Helmer]

Old Scout,

I see you are shooting the Pedersoli Sharps Carbine. Are you using linen cartridges or loose powder? I think grease will merely compound your problems of fouling "locking up" the breech.

Have you contacted Pedersoli and asked them for an opinion? I would because maybe they did not follow the original Sharps configuration close enough; just my opinion at this point.
