C. Sharps Arms Co. is now with over 30 years in the business under the same management. We have never failed to produce the best in quality and accuracy, constantly improving our methods of manufacturing, quality of materials and expanding our product line to better serve our customers, whether they are recreational or target shooters, hunters, or firearms aficionados or historians.

Virtually every rifle we produce is a special order rifle and the number of options we offer cannot be incorporated into one rifle. We however have our limitations; I cannot fathom why anyone would want scope blocks on a classic Sharps Rifle or for that matter a recoil pad.

When it comes to the cost of our rifles, the customer receives more for his money than any other similar rifle produced in the world. Producing actions and parts from solid steel is more expensive than casting; we do it because the end product is superior in material, strength and accuracy. We use Badger Barrels with cut rifling and hand-lapped only because they are the best in the market place; we could produce a button rifled barrel for 25% or less of the cost of a Badger Barrel but it would be considerably less in quality and performance as well as material.

We use all air-dried walnut- kiln-dried walnut is more available and less expensive- however, it is also much more fragile and has more tendency to split with age. Wood is not a perfect product at its best, but you will never see plastic or laminated stocks on our rifles; yes, we have had requests for just that.
