Sharps Ace

[TonyL]

Yes with relieved dove tail and cut away side for ease of loading.

Thank you for confirming that, Ian.

I was sat here thinking they had done one but couldn't quite remember.

[SCW22]

I have a few but not in the best of condition.

I'm going to give one a full overhaul including a new stock built, re-blacked and full internal setup reworked.

its going to be one of my go to guns.

A few! I can't even seem to get one at the minute, I've only seen a handful for sale and they either go really fast or for silly money

[--ped--]

i did have a few more aces but daftly sold them

"1977 It was apparently one of the last batch to enter our shores from Japan"


Are you sure? I was told by someone in the trade they were still being imported in small quantities well into the 80's. Demand for the Ace back then was so low that less than 200 were imported in the final year apparently. I believe the founder of Sharp fell of the twig around this time and that led to the company demise.
Sharp Ace stocks were made from a species of mahogany, possibly meranti, and stained.

Sorry- That was a typo, It should have read '1997'!!

The problem with the Ace was that the scope rails were directly on the barrel which had quite a curvature. Special mounts relieved between the dovetails were required or a normal set modified. Ive even seen an Ace were the barrel between the dovetails was filed flat.

Here's my modified ones Ian using a large rat tail file!!

Ive seen that done many times and the beauty is they can still be used on other rifles.

Hi hellsquad, Protek Supplies have an original Ace rear sight for sale.
You can give them a ring.
Cheers, Louis

I bought an innova new and liked it a lot. Then the Ace came out and i bought a new one of those and still have it. I use it regularly and more than any of my other airguns.

Hi could anyone take a pic of the standard trigger block on an ace with the stock removed ?

I ask as the ace I just got may have an aftermarket one ? not sure and cannot find a pic online yet of normal one

Thanks

This is the only picture I could find on my phone; not very clear, but it gives an idea of the trigger block



My best gun, Ace in .177 (I like my .22 too)

[--ped--]

the original trigger is made of monkey metal and they do over time get weakened
if it is billet ally and in raw aluminium then it could be a magic 9 one ,if it is anodised black then it could well be one of mine
