I have heard that their are Sharp's reproductions being made by a few companies that are percussion only. They have the sliding breech mechanism but aren't meant to take cartridges, instead being loaded either as a standard muzzle loader or from the breech with a nitrated paper cartridge. Where can I get one of these? What kind of quality can I expect? I checked with a few mail order companies but they only had the b.p. cartridge types.
I just seen further down a question about paper cartridges in Sharp's rifles. This sounds like what I'm looking for but I don't know the model/year to look for or someone who sells them. The rifle in the other post looks like a short barrel model while I was looking for a full-length rifle.
