IAB is an Italian maker of Sharps rifle and carbine replicas, and they also offer some kits, but they are hard to find. These kits are for the entire gun, not just the receiver. You might try searching out IAB on the net and see if you can find something. Information on them seems to be a bit scarce, but if you are persistent you should be able to find something useful.

Well the time has come to end this, yes I did finally find a company that sells actions not cheap but not to expensive.

I have a C. Sharps heavy rifle with tang sight for very long range in 45-70. Minty condition. I don't think I could get as much for my whole rifle as they want for an action in the white!!
I was thinking about selling mine because I am getting too old and joint problems. Don't feel like getting kicked by the gun. I paid $2500.00 for it.

For the last week or so I've helped a friend who bought a Hepburn kit from the Misourri (sp?) Trading outfit. A lot of work in the kit but I am impressed by the work done when he received it. Screws were drilled and tapped and properly placed and the receiver threaded for the barrel shank. A spare set of screws were included as well as the springs. Castings were decent and evidently someone there is available for questions as you work on it. Overall, I thought well of it.
