Any Sharp Innova experts?

[johnj]

Hi all,
I have just purchased what I think is an indonesian Innova copy from a forum member. Only just paid and its then being posted so no photos or real info yet, it has what mybe a Crosman breech and bolt but the reciever looks like no photos of Innovas that I can find its just a round cylinder at the end of the compresion tube with the trigger attached and the breech fixed on top.
Does anyone know if the copies are like this just with a plastic cover over to give it the squared block look of the original Sharp Innova.
Cheers,
Johnj.

Didn't the sharp ace have a metal breech? Maybe you have struck lucky and bought the more up market sharp!

Yep, they certainly did. Mine had the heavier duty Kestock Conversions bolt, too. Lovely.

Should never have sold that and the two Innovas that I've owned.

No, definitely not an Ace.
Would be nice if it was!
The seller sent me a few photos but they don't show much really it'll be here in a few days and I'll try and take some clear photos by then i might have worked it out myself.
Cheers,

could be a sharp tiger

Or a Sharp Victory. If its a Victory you have to prime the trigger before you start pumping.



(2nd one up from the bottom. Non standard stock. )

That’s a lot of pumping young I J.

I reckon I've seen this gun before there was a thread about it a couple of years ago, it has an Innova pump, custom bolt action breech and a reddish coloured stock on it --- it looks very much like a Sharp Tiger with custom breech to me.

It was sold on here, so if you've bought it off a BBS member it should be possible to backtrack it through the search function.

Edit :- is this the gun ?

Maybe...

See Mick now you've taken the suspense or of it for everyone

No just joking, thank you I'll have a hunt for that thread.

I still haven't found anything else that looks to have the same receiver.

Thanks

You won't find the thread as it was deleted not long after I saved the pictures, John.

The Sharp Tiger has a big following in Indonesia and many places sell custom parts for them, try doing an Internet search for Sharp Tiger Custom.

Do Sharp still make pump up air rifles ? Anyone still import them ?

It looks like the Sharp Innova became the Sharp Tiger and has now been superseded by the Sharp Fusion, which is still in production in Indonesia.

The Webley Rebel which was (and maybe still is ?) imported by highland outdoors is a rebadged Sharp, whether it was based on the Innova or Tiger I couldn't say.

The stock on this one looks very Holland and Holland to me

The pie manufacturer?

I bought one of the new Webley Rebel - Sharp Innova copies because if nothing else it would be a useful source of spares for my Innovas. After seeing the quality of the Webley, I dont think I will bother.
