Are these very accurate out to 100 to 150 yrds In 50 caliber?
I TOTALLY agree Stykbow. Really racey looking. I would love to shoot one.No idea, but they sure are pretty.

Thanks DaveThey can be if loaded properly. I have two Smiths and both will shoot about 2in at 50yd. The thing to remember with a Smith is to not use heavy loads. The action isn't that strong.
thanks ColumbusPretty accurate - a lot of N-SSA skirmishers use a Smith carbine, these targets are shot off-hand.
CARBINE
The second largest (next to the musket match) competition within the North-South Skirmish Association is the carbine team match. For the National matches, this competition consists of eight members shooting at the following targets:
- 100 yards - 10 hanging 6"x6" ceramic tiles
- 50 yards - 32 clay pigeons on a cardboard backer
- 50 yards - 16 hanging 4"x4" ceramic tiles
- 50 yards - 16 hanging clay pigeons
- 50 yards - 16 hanging pot silhouettes
I understand that an earlier generation of these replica Carbines has a mis-sized bore, or other problem that kept them from being accurate. Has that been corrected on current production? They are neat little guns.
I would have thought that in a REAL skirmish - at short range -- the carbine would have not needed "target" accuracy. The Smith carbine is PERFECT for the N-SSA rapidfire team matches.Yes, it is a fact and affects early production Navy Arms models. I have one and had to have it relined. Again, in a discussion on accuracy, quantification is required. Very few Smiths, original or not, are going to be under 4moa.

My Smith is accurate to 75 yards and I see no reason another 25 yards would make a difference. The target is steel made by Shooting Targets 7 and is called the "kill zone" target being the size of a white tail deer vital area.Are these very accurate out to 100 to 150 yrds In 50 caliber?

My load is 30 grains of FFFg, a lube wad and the Eras Gone Sharps bullet either as cast or sized to .501".
Usually ignited with an RWS cap, but with the Larry Flees improved fire path most of the time a CCI puny musket cap will work.
A fun gun to shoot.
