James River Armory is one of the best. They take Euroarms and resand the stock so it is more like the original (though it still is a bit barrel heavy) and de**** it to look original. Simply the best.
Lodgewood has excelelnt gear and they do authenticize (real word?) for you. I would strongly suggest an Armi-Sport, only because EuroArms has had some pretty serious quality control issues over the last couple years. I might also suggest a Miroku M1861 if you can get your hands on one. Good Luck.
Thanks Guys For The Advice, But I Did Purchase The Sharps He Made Such A Good Deal I Couldnt Pass It Up. So Now I'll Have To Save Up For The Springfield. Got My County Tax Statement " Oh Brother" Our County Loves To Spend Our Hard Earned Money.
Check & probably replace the gas seal on that Sharps before you get to enthusiastic about shooting it... I've seen a bad gas seal set a hankee on fire that was placed over the top of the breach.
