On the same page. Right now my 1863 sporting is being built as yours (PB, Casehardened, Saddle bar) hoping to get it soon and will post pictures. And one year ago I placed an order for a Hartford in 40-50 BN because it is cute, original, and easy to load.

Hmmm...ok, thank you, I must have gotten something mixed up. I think maybe I was thinking that a stock with the traditional steel buttplate option would look different from the military buttplate stock.Cotton Eye Joe wrote: ↑Tue Jun 27, 2023 4:55 pmI just received my 1874 carbine a few weeks ago in 50-70, military style buttplate. Is that what you mean by shotgun? There's no shotgun option on the order page.

Re: 1874 Military 50-70
There is, in fact, a shotgun butt option, both in the drop down menu and at the bottom of the page. But for a gun meant to be shot off hand I don't really see the need.

Ah, I see. It just says "TRADITIONAL STEEL" in the drop down. I didn't know that meant shotgun.

Go to the home page and choose the "Custom Features" tab and page down for pictures.
And I noticed the Polished and blue barrel option is not in the list but I bet you can add it.

I think that step on the barrel is a problem much like the rigby rib on the 77s

Re: 1874 Military 50-70
Hi Guys did get my 1874 Military carbine. Been so busy with working out of town and work on landscaping my house just haven’t got a chance to take her out and put a few down range. The carbine came out better then I expected Shiloh and company did a very good job. Now I need to get a sling for her so when Elk season rolls around I will be able to walk around the mountain with out worrying of dropping it. I did get a chance to load 50 500gr bullets. All I have is 1F Goex power witch I have done some load develop starting out with 55grs. and up to 62grs hopefully I can get a accurate load before the first of October.

Re: 1874 Military 50-70
A few years ago, I had a sling on my Chiappa 50-70 sharps carbine. I didn't drop the gun, I dropped my whole self! Coming down the shadow side of a mountain where the frost didn't really ever melt off. I slipped going down, and the Chiappa was between me and the ground. Slide maybe 2-3 feet, which was enough to leave some good divets into the wood of the stock.
Overall on the trip, I'm sure it woulda came out looking even worse had I not used a sling. But now I'm a bit wary of bringing my Shiloh carbine on any hunts that aren't fairly flat and level.

Re: 1874 Military 50-70
What’s the trick in reducing a picture to 256 or less. Like to show off my new carbine. Bpcrshooter62 does Steve Brooks make a hunting bullet mold or just competition molds. Lee’s 500 gr is what I am starting out with if it doesn’t work then I will consider purchasing a more expensive mold. Like to keep it around 450 to 500 grs. Have a 50-90 shiloh #3 that I had made in 2019 it shoots a 695gr. from boomer Humphrey’s it shoots pretty good but I don’t want to pack it around the mountain that’s why I ordered a carbine. Lighter and more handy.

I have the Rigby Flat on my polished round barrel 77 so it can be done and is done with nothing more than selecting the option on the web site.

Re: 1874 Military 50-70
We know it's going to look great and being a carbine, not something we see many of. A photo or two really is worth a thousand words. Looking forward to a 'look-see'.
