General store.

Where?

The guns.

There's holsters, I imagine.

Guns or close by.

Okay.

Hey, how's it going?

Good.

How you guys doing?

Pretty good.

We heard you might have some cool guns here, Purcell.

Well, yeah, we got a We got a bunch of stuff here for you to look at.

I own pioneer market.

We like guns of all kinds.

We especially like the old guns.

You got a lot of cool guns here, Rick.

Check it out.

We have a look at the sharps.

Yeah, that's cool.

That's the 18 63 sharp car being Union Army wanted equal all of their troops with them that they could.

Once they were proficient at using this weapon.

They were unstoppable.

The Sharps carbine is in beautiful condition.

It was used throughout the Civil War.

In my opinion, it's worth quite a bit of money.

I'm asking $2500 for this change.

So many of the outcomes of the battles during the Civil War, especially the Battle of Gettysburg.

The union Calvary was hiding in the ridge line and they had the sharps carbine and they were able to fire off 10 shots in a minute.

which gave the impression that the union had a lot more guys there that five times as many guys that Yeah, and in the Confederates were just, you know, it's stopped them in their tracks, which gave the union more time to prepare.

This was the gun of choice.

The ignition system was just icing on the cake.

Yeah, the following block was really just an amazing advance because you'd put your bullet in there, you would have a piece of paper that had gunpowder in it.

You push it in there, this would cut the back of the paper off.

You'd slide up another primer, which was like a cap.

It's sent a spark down a whole pull the hammer back.

Bam!

I mean, it was literally just Bam, bam, bam, bam, bam!

That would have been the assault rifle of its day if you collect civil War guns, this is when you have to have You gotta have you got a place around here to shoot these things?

Absolutely.

These carbines were really accurate.

It would look great in my showcase.

Okay?

I can't wait him or what are we shooting?

Okay, this is the that.

This is a surprise.

It's an exploding target.

Okay, set it up.

Down range about 100 yards.

And that would be typically distance that they'd be fighting at.

Okay.

Today we're gonna be shooting a rather unique target.

It's a binary product.

Two parts being mixed together to form one.

This is an impact target.

So, in other words, he projectile has to hit this element to make it explode.

All right.

You ready to do this?

I'm ready.

You walk with that damn thing?

No problem.

The one thing I have to stress is the safety element of this.

This is an explosive.

It could kill you.

We're taking every safety precaution that is necessary.

All right, Rick.

So Confederates are advancing.

You see an exposed powder keg so you can't miss.

All right, that's your target.

All right, here we go.

We're gonna take him out.

Okay?

Range is hot.

Okay.

Locked and loaded.

Three, two, one.

Fire in the hole.

Yeah, Talking about I can understand why they used this gun in the Civil War.

Straight shooter.

Not a big kick.

Easy to reload.

Great gun.

1500 bucks for it.

Solid gun.

Good rifle.

And you shot it.

You know what?

You get a good rifle, assault gun, but 1500 bucks, I think, is all the money on the Sharps 15 hundreds.

A little light on that.

I'm sorry.

I can't do that.

What can you do?

Well, 25 hundreds of realistic price on that.

And they said they said they said they said, Yeah, but when you when you find the right guy, you're going to get the money out of it.

How about 79 bucks for the Sharps?

I was thinking too grand.

How about 18 cash right now?

All right, How about 1900?

You drive a hard bargain.

I can do that.

Okay, Sweet.

300 miles and I'm leaving with something.

After a long drive into the middle of nowhere, I'm really glad to be bringing something home with me.

And that alone made this whole day worth it.

If I had a great day.

Oh, yeah.
