I also have an IAB Sharps. I didn’t have so much of a problem with the sheet o’ flame as I did with fouling. After one or two shots I had to remove the breech block to clean and even freeing it from the receiver was a challenge. I sent it to Charlie Hahn and posted about my experience here: Hahn 1859 Sharps conversion
Charlies’ work has been a vast improvement but it isn’t perfect. I find I have to replace the o-ring after every 25 rounds or so. Usually I’m done shooting by then so I haven’t minded much. Oh, and the gun is very accurate.

I have an original 1863 Sharps. No issues with leakage and does not sieze up. Hoping it stays that way.
From the link …
FYI, due to hunting seasons and the holidays, Charlie won’t work on any Sharps until well into January 2024.
