Shiloh Rifle Forums

I have two questions concerning the ability to customize the Shiloh Sharps rifles. Is it possible to order a shorter than standard length of pull, and is it possible to order a round knob on the pistol grip?

Thank you,
Carl Jensen

It is possible to adjust pull, I am kinda lost on the round knob part, you mean like an older double barrel? Kirk

Old ??
I guess I am feeling my age now.
Like the Browning Superposed Round Knob

Thanks

We have never had anyone ask to do this before, I guess if you like that we could look into it. I think it might look funny with the size of a 74 reciever. Kirk

I think he is refering to the Convex pistol grip only more so. I have seen this style pistol grip on the older Remington shotguns as an example. I like the Schnable pistol grip myself. Parley

Been wondering that myself.
I like the profile of the straight stock but also the feel of the pistol grip and the rounded pistol grip end looks good to me also (like the old Engish shotguns). I think they have a more 'open' angle though and the end position of the lower tang would come into play.
So, we'll see, eh??

I really do not care for the Schnable, but I would like a pistol grip. All I have to go on so far is the side photos of the Sharps. I will need to see one physically to get a perspective. Every time I look at the photos I think it would have nice lines and still be functional.
Good excuse for a trip to Montana.

Thanks,

I wonder if he talking about the knob found on some of the pistol grip stocks seen in the 1878 section of Frank Sellers book. They look real nice.
