A Lil Dakota Spoon
A couple of weeks ago I bought a Lil Dakota Sharps Spoon in 22 Hornet at an auction. Today it came, and I am truly impressed with the workmanship. It is American made and as such it is crazy expensive as all the Dakota products are. The good thing is that I got it a crazy good price, so good I just couldn't pass it up as it is free money. Unbelievably it is one of those things that just fell through the cracks as sometimes things do at auction. I got it for a bit more than what the Italian versions cost. Why it happened I can't figure out? I guess U just have to know what you are looking at.
These Lil Sharps are built to 80% scale of the original Sharps 1874 rifles and are CNC made from a solid block of steel.. They come standard with XX Walnut Wood and the spoon I got has 2 Custom features the 1/2 round 1/2 octagon barrel and the Bone Charcoal Case Hardening on the Receiver and Butt-plate which is a beautiful addition which makes the spoon. The fit and finish is just about as good as it gets..It is a well balanced dainty little spoon of exceptional quality.

So they look like flint locks but fire .22 caliber.
Any chance we can see a close up of the action. I'm curious as to how these work. I'm guessing the hammer hits the back of the firing pin Cool spoons. Thanks for Posting Tabs.
