Re: Reenacting with a Sharps & Hankins carbine

I worked with a local gunsmith/machinist and together we were able to convert it and even spring load the firing pin. It also needed to have the sleeve put into the chamber and the extractor replaced, it needs to be just a little longer. If you are interested in having it done to yours you can e-mail me and maybe we can talk on the phone so I can give you more details. I can also send you my paper on “Reenacting with a Henry”, in it I explain how to make blanks for it and ones that will also work in an Armisport Spencer and in the converted Sharps & Hankins. My e-mail is t.schultz5@verizon.net
