Well I had fun today. I had to chance to sit down and take apart a gun I never thought I would ever see let alone take apart and see how it worked. It was a Freund and Bro Sharps Boss that we just bought. Totally awe struck by its historic value and its workings. The first link is a bit of a story about the Fruend guns and the second link is a book about them and if you scroll down to picture 8 on the right side it shows the gun I was playing with. A .40-90 Sharps bottle neck Fruend and Brothers Sharps with the cam action and in the Boss model. I loved looking the action over to see how it worked. Oh its only $115k in case one of you wants to buy it. www.assra.com/sept_oct_2003_feature.htmwww.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.asp?Item=93517893

On the bright side bill all your guns are more fun to own than just one like that!!!! And your sharps is shootable every day, though you probibly treat yours about the same way? LOL.
