PR0982 Dixie Sharps New Model 1859 Military Carbine Reviews

Product: PR0982 Dixie Sharps New Model 1859 Military Carbine
From: Thomas Teets
Date: Tuesday 22 September, 2009

Review:

Mine is a shooter, 2" at 50 yards, I had some trouble at first then i called the manufacture not the easiest thing to do by the way, works best when using the brass casing hold 50gr Black powder and bullet Perersoli made it to be used this way. So I found a dozen on line about $1 each have about 30 shots through each now no sign of brass failure yet. You will only get 20 - 25 shots max until cleaning becomes a must. Not the sasiest to clean other wise i would give it 5 stars. All around a fun carbine but do your home work, proper manufacture of ammo is a must for the gun, I found loose powder and ball to work poorly at best.
