.50-90 Sharps

[Creedmoor]

looks like you can get 100 pieces of brass here ... https://starlinebrassusa.com/starline-brass-50-90-sharps/

That's a SCAM SITE, they only take Zelle, it's Backordered on Starline.

I thought that price looked too good to be true. I think I paid more than that for 100 45-70 brass cases not long ago.

i ought that site seemed pretty scammy. Seemed odd since you can order brass directly from starline that there would be a reseller that only sells their brass…

What kind of rifling does it have in it? Alex Henry rifling is a sight to behold!

how does the peep sight come up? Just hook a thumbnail under it and flip it up? I assume it’s non adjustable?

i thought I saw an adjustring screw on the front trigger, is it a single set trigger? Are both triggers set trigger?

are you looking to shoot a smokeless load though it or black? Is it nitro proofed?

looking forward to more pics

Yikes! That's what I get for trusting a Go Ogle search these days. Glad to know there are people here on INGO that are much more knowledgeable in these matters.

1 - not sure but it looks much nicer than my meager attempt at picturing it.

2 - flip it up with fingernail and it does not adjust.

3 - both triggers adjust, front for right barrel back for left.

4 - I'm pretty sure this is black powder only but I could be wrong. The proofs are a G under crown, a U under crown and an Eagle with a number I couldn't read on both chambers and the number 42. The left barrel has the number 605, the letters RS plus another crest of some sort while both barrels have another G under crown.

Howdy, Just picked up a double rifle in auction and I need to figure out how to feed it. It's late 1800's and has a bullet mold. At the least I need brass. I'll post pics when it gets delivered. Until then... https://www.bonhams.com/auction/29389/lot/1017/joseph-siegel-sidelock-double-rifle/

It's an African safari double chambered in an iconic American buffalo cartridge.

If you call the store tomorrow and remind me, I'll look and see if I still have a bag of .50-90 brass. I don't remember if I sold it or not.

Dammit man! I asked at holt road if you had any .50/70. Probably for the best that I didn’t ask about .50/90!

I actually remembered to look.
I have 1 bag of 100 left.

Thanks! Just a question though...it really looks like the tag says 60-90...

Cheers

Yeah, they used a weird font and when it's that small, it does look a little like a 6 instead of a 5. It's .50-90 though.

Wow! Another INGO miracle. This place never disappoints!

I translated all the cartouches and it reads, "Give it to a fat German boy to shoot." Hope that helps.

Did I mention I was German?

Find boolits and I will share! I'm buying!

On further observation the Eagle crest seems to have a 0 in the center. None of them seem to make sense from what I can find as they would date it from the 1950's and that's just silly.

 

[Thor]

The single crest on the left barrel seems to be an H ...

 

[Thor]

All the markings other than Josef Seigel are under the forearm and can not be viewed unless disassembled.

 

[Thor]

The eagle might be a German proof mark.

Ive got bullets, and can cast more any day!
