NIB Garret Sharps Carbine

SolidLeadSlug · Sep 16, 2024

Hello all, I've recently bought a Garret Arms sharps carbine. This little gun looks to be unfired and even comes in it's orginal packing with matching serial on the box and a owners manual. Are these carbines any good or are they just another IAB type repro? What is the value of a garret?

As I understand it those are the most desirable repro aside from the Shiloh sharps....

They are the finest reproduction sharps carbines EVER MADE.

They are HIGHLY sought after!

Does this look familiar to anyone who bought one new?

Please take that gun out of the box and take and post here at least a half dozen pics of it!!

The Garrets also have a functioning Maynard pellet priming system, which was left off all the other repros. The Garrets also suffer from the same gas leak issues as the other reproduction Sharps. I sent my to Larry Flees to have that cured.

The primer system on Sharps is the Lawrence patent as the Maynard system uses a tape style.

Wonderful rifle! I have a military sharps unmentionable from Big Timber Montana that I love! I really like the look of your rifle cradle.

Do they suffer right out of the box? I need to get a mold from you and test fire. Although I'm hesitant since this rifle is unfired.

I also have one of the Garrett carbines in 50-70, a beautiful gun, even if it is 'unmentionable'. I believe Capandball actually has a video on YouTube about the pellet primer and making it work. Enjoy your gem.

That looks to be a very fine example of a sharps....nice score!

I'm purchasing this Cimarron McNelly Carbine by Armi-Sport Chiappa. Supposedly they're shooters, we'll see! It has a funny little fake Lawrence system. The wood to metal fit and walnut grain figuration attracted me enough to pull the trigger

I am considering selling it. Doesn't fit it well with my collection.
