Anybody shoot or have a Sharps Navy model carbine?

Just wondering if any of you guys have a Sharps and Hankin Navy Carbine in 52 Rf Caliber ?
Wondering if there any good. its a neat action the way the lever makes the barrel slide forward.
I heard they can be easy converted to CF Whats the CF case they use ?

It would not be hard to make up a few rimfire cases and you would not be buggering up the value of the sharps and hankin original. I have shot a spencer and would suspect that the sharps would be similar in performance assuming the shell is about the same length.
