"Sharps" from IMA USA

#1 Post by dirtbag »

Hi , extremely tempted to go all in and buy one of these pretend Sharps from IMA-USA.
Like most guns for sale I see in the USA, they always tend to come with a long told story, this one is no different.

Just checking if any of you have one, or know a little more about them please ?
In the U.K there are a couple of Saddle ring carbines in 50-70 floating about for more money, I do like the idea of a non-converted one though....

I dont know about the Nepalese sharps, but I have a Snider made in Nepal that works very well.
BTW I like the Nepalese Sharps as well and would love to get one just because they are different.

Thanks for the reply.

To find an original US made one, and in percussion config I have seen up for a cost of a quality 2nd hand car.
I don't do repros' really, and even they are pricey.. the history of these are still quite unknown, so yes I am with you, they are different..

Tempting indeed...

Coming back to this thread, does or has anyone taken the plunge to go for one of the IMA Nepal Sharps ?
Looking at the possibility again, although the £ to $ not great at present..
