I often dig out my Ed Webber Sharps 78 in .30-40 Krag. Ed modeled it after his own 78 that went to Africa with him. I have always marveled at his level of skill. Forgot how to show photos..... C:\Users\jeffr\Desktop\Firearms 5-6-26\Mine\Webber Sharps\.30-40 Webber 2.JPG
Alas, time to thin the herd…..

Nice Rolling Block fore sure and I agree Ed was a fine fellow and a fine rifle builder. I met him on a few occasions and visited him once in Montana many years ago. I remember his motto, speaking about his guns, on his business card (although I may paraphrase it now), "Guaranteed not to squeak or rattle loose in the wind". He said he borrowed it from an old billboard for the windmill company advertisement, as I remember.

I have a stalking rfle that Ed refinished. Great work. Too bad he passed away so early in life.

I took it out today and without any sight adjustment, shot a bunch of gophers with it… ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/7h4N6V78/IMG-2992.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/0N6nHrxV/IMG-2996.jpg)

Crazy Mountains background~ A sweet rifle rebarreled by Ed Webber and direct from his estate. I don't know anyone who will appreciate it as much as Kirk. ![[Linked Image from imagizer.imageshack.com]](https://imagizer.imageshack.com/v2/1024x768q70/924/tX3Rvc.jpg)
