They say the paper cartridge Sharps are not popular---not a high demand item. ("They" being guys who work at Cabelas.)
Oh well.
I owned an Italian replica '63 Carbine back in the late 1970s and I shot it quite a bit. There was a cartridge making kit sold by the same store that sold the gun.
Nitrated paper, nylon mandrel, .54 maxi balls---it was easy. I would fill up a Christmas cookie tin with loaded rounds and shoot until the carbine got too hot to hold onto.
Now, I'm trying to work out something with hair-curling paper, wooden dowels and both a Lee bullet and one from Accurate Molds.
Golly-gosh but it sure is fun!---even though my fingers are not as smart as they were in 1979.
Anyway, thought I'd put up a post about the New Model 1863 that does not mention the other subject.
I am going to shoot both of these dang things---eventually.
