I bought an old one yesterday and pulled it apart to check the seals. There is one seal in the front of the brass chamber that holds the air in. It had gone hard and wont seal anymore. I replaced it with an oring that fits inside the brass screw-in part inside the chamber.
Great to fire something wihout recoil!

The Sharp Ace is a solid well built and very solid piece of kit. It has a totally recoiless firing cycle which makes it as accurate as a pcp rifle. When you add a good quality scope to the gun it transforms the rifle into a seriously accurate hunter. Happy hunting folks, be responsible and look after our sport. (read more)

I have one sharp innova and one sharp ace. original made in Indonesia. I can shoot turtle dove with sharp innova or my sharp ace on 50 meters, only with 4 time pumping. In indonesia there are many Factory which produce multy pump air rifle. But I think the best air rifle in indonesia are produce by Indonesian sharp air gun.

Just an update, my finger has now repaired itself, and i am still firing away with six or seven pumps when requiring full power, or just three for 10meter target practice.I have probably fired about 2000 rounds since the mod, and she still works just as well and as accurately. i am looking for a 0.177 cal sharp innova as i would like a smaller caliber for longer range and then i can carry out "The Phase Two Mod" on one of the two guns. Gas power auto recharge with manual load. this will give me a gun with an rechargeable gas supply and no need to pump it up each time. by removing the pump lever and piston assembly and replacing with a gas canister under the barrel, the weight should not be increased too much. Auto prime with a gas valve that operates with each release of the loading stock, should make a fairly fast to reload gun that is one of the most powerful and accurate that money can buy. so someone please contact me and sell me another 0.22 or 0.177 sharp innoova or give me two sharps and i will modify them both and return one in exchange.

OK A big update on the INNOVA and the new WEBLEY REBEL, and specially adapted silencers
First Webley do not make the new version but they distribute it under their name, it's also sold in Germany by another maker or rifles.
OK I have bought one of the new Rebels in 0.177 and have another on order in 0.22 cal.
I have done extensive testing and mods to this new rifle and here are some of the results.
First they are produced in Indonesia, possibly for a Chinese company, but many parts still carry the sharp name.
The build quality of the rebel is not as good as the Innova as they have taken to a few shortcuts, but made up for that with new styling and a smart plastic stock. Very good value for money and a highly accurate rifle. Worthy of a quality scope, I use a Hawke digital side winder and that makes one hell of a good setup.
The barrel is of good quality and that is very important.
The rifle started out over tight, the pump piston pushing too hard against the charge assy, and each pump resulting in a loud "CLACK" of the plastic pump lever against the pump tube. So the first job was to adjust the mechanism and reset the blow off valve level.
Here I notice the first shortcut.. they have used a simpler adjuster and instead of having an simple locknut to adjust the pressure on the blow off valve spring they have drilled through the threaded rod and pinned it with a blind pin. After making an extraction tool i made the adjustment and refitted the pin. you could also extend the thread and add a locknut.
Next the breech. The rebel uses a common breech made from plastic just as the innova did but with a pellet feed that will take either 0.177 or 0.22, only the barrel dia prevents a 0.22 being fired. The system for fixing and anchoring the pump barrel into the breech block is now only done by a shim wedge and a stud that located the compression chamber inside the pump tube. They no longer have a screw and nut fitted to push up against the pump tube and give a good seal between the pump tube and the feed to the barrel. Test yours by giving it just two pumps, hold your thumb over the end of the barrel and fire. ( without a pellet of course ) You will hear air escaping if the seal is bad.
I have drilled through the breech housing from side to side and fitted a brass ferrule that is pieced and threaded to take a brass screw and locknut that go through the breech ( also drilled through) and press against the metal shim, forcing it up against the housing and compressing the seal against the feed hole to the barrel. This has to be tightened before tightening the stud ( that is used to locate the charge chamber) or it will pull the chamber away from the seal.
Now to the chamber it's self. The new design uses most of the original parts of the innova but have done some crazy alterations. The internal tube that holds a spring and ball for a one way valve is longer to reduce the internal volume, it's possible to shorten it to increase volume but this will not increase power as there is enough stored air to expel a 0.177 pellet anyway. But they have added a plastic part that provides the seal for the firing pin in front of it !! totally the reverse of the innova design that have a seal inside the end of the chamber through which the firing pin goes. They have thus eliminated the use of the seal and the seal retainer that is a hard push fit on the innova. Once the firing pin is allowed to move during firing, the air can pass through the bypass to the barrel but also escape past the firing pin through the end of the chamber. Both the old and new chambers are exactly the same externally and internally but for these omissions. I have removed the plastic seal, and fitted a O ring and O ring retainer with parts I machined and rebuilt the chamber old style. Both systems work well but I doubt the new version unless modified will last forever as the innova system. Also the firing pin is machined to a slightly lesser quality and not polished like the chrome like finish of the innova ones.
The end plate that screws into the pump barrel that locates the position of the chamber is a slightly smaller diameter thread and uses a piece of steel rather than brass, the fit between the firing pin and this end plate are not as tight as the innova and the clearances is a path for escaping air with their new internal system. Once the cylinder is rebuilt with a O ring there is no escaping air and the looser fit is irrelevant or it would be if the firing plate on the trigger mechanism were machined better. Any twisting of the pump tube can cause the plate to push sideways on the firing pin and cause a partial loss of pressure in the chamber, This will vary from gun to gun and perhaps I just got a bad one but the problem is easily cured by removing the stock, ( held as before by one screw) and the trigger, the locating pins are very loose and will fall out if the rifle it tipped sideways with the stock removed. Pull out the firing trigger plate and file the slot width ways a millimeter either side to provide more clearance. Do not file up or down in the slot. reassemble and clean up the profile of the trigger for a smoother trigger action and readjust the pressure spring to your liking.
If you want to really do all the mods and " BLUEPRINT" the gun as I have, then you need to remove the barrel as well, twist and pull, remove the white bonding material, re-drill the transfer hole to increase air transfer, reassemble and refit the barrel with permanent locktite blue or equivalent.
Finally remove the silencer mount from the inside of the front assy ( it unscrews but you need a wide screwdriver or make a tool) and replace with a brass or aluminum replacement that is thicker internally. Mine broke off too easily.
All this modification was done to BLUEPRINT the Rebel and see if it could be as better than the old Innova, With these mode done the rifle is even better with the new styling and accuracy and power are there as before. The rebel as sold is still a very good rifle but those of you that know innovas will expect more and want it to last 20 years like the innova.
I was prompted to design and manufacture my own custom silencer for the rebel ( having seen some of the ridiculous designs using hair curlers and ether-foam) iI now have a dual caliber design so I can use the same one on 0.177 and 0.22. The silencers are hand made on a precision lathe and have a central vent tube with 36 ports and six internal baffles filled with a dense material that breathes ( OPEN CELL STRUCTURE ) and absorbs the high pressure pulse of air and releases it more slowly rather than trying to catch it in small chambers where the shock wave usually just bounces around. Now with all my shots, be they at two, three, or even six or more pumps the sound is a quiet PHEUUH rather than a crack as fired without the silencer. In fact shooting outdoors the sound of the pellet hitting a target at 30 meters is louder that the shot from the rifle!! Each one is serial numbered and anodized in black ( other colors will be available if requested) and with two different external body designs. One plain smooth tube "classic" design and one with a ribbed section at the front that gives a more military sniper look. Both weigh just 80 grams, That is a third the weight of some silencers. Also as the silencers are precision made for air rifles only and in particular as suitable for the precision and light weight of the Rebel, they require a precise fitting, The Rebel has a slightly loose cut thread as standard so I have made a new replacement threaded section that actually increases accuracy. The new mount requires the front mount to be removed, the threaded tube removed, then a section of the barrel outer plastic tube is cut off and the new end threaded adapter is fitted and screwed into the end mount. These tubes fit tightly to the barrel and can be bonded with locktite to provide a highly stable and accurate support for the barren end and silencer.
Again this part will be anodized in black to match the rifle. I will also make to order new front ends in brass for Innova's that have their plastic ones damaged or wish to have a silencer mount.
Please feel free to contact me on minilandrover@yahoo.fr if you desire help in tuning your rebel or in a WASP silencer or improved mounting kit.
I hope that the new 0.22 cal will be available soon and I can hardly wait to get one to compliment my "blueprinted " 0.177 rebel.
The wasp silencer will fit any air rifle with a 1/2" UNF thread which is equivalent to the 12mm 1.25 thread in metric.
I cannot supply to america as the gun laws there forbid the use of silencers. They are however serial numbered for reference if a permit is obtained.
They will handle full FAC power and more but not designed for 0.22 lr rimfire.
Again contact me on minilandrover@yahoo.fr if you need more info.
Colin.

Phew. Thanks Moderator. didn't fancy typing all that again..
Just another quick comment, im told that the 0.22 cal rifles were all sent back ( sept 2012 ) as they had been setup too powerful for the UK regs ie above fac level..and they were all sent back . This is the reason I was given for the delay in seeing the 0.22 in the gun shops. Possibly there was an issue with the new plastic part inside the storage chamber and they are trying to fix that..Regardless of this if you see a REBEL I strongly recommend you buy it without hesitation. 0.177 or 0.22 as It can be bluprinted and if production ceases ( for any reason) they will become very rare and collectable, both the 0.177 and the 0.22cal.
Good hunting.

Innova's Comment
Written on: 11/02/2010
I notice that you say that the pump arm drop down! this should not happen if the innova is set up correctly! the linkage arm needs adjusting , lengthening untill it locks up before it sits flush with the pump tube. then back the linkage arm off untill it gently closes. You will find the air is going to be more compressed as it enters the valve and the power will increase as well. 6 pumps will give you full 12ftlbs if done correctly.if you are in GB you will need to adjust the blow off valve if you innova excedes 12ft/lbs. Further info on these can be had on BBS air gun forum. Cracking little rifles as are the ACE and Victory ( i have 4 in my colection :-)

Written on: 26/04/2007 by Innova shooter (1 review written)
Can't think how you can improve on perfection, this rifle is great. I really like the loading bolt. Its like a double safety, I can keep the rifle charged for ages, and insert the pellet when ready to fire. Even then, I can open the bolt for extra safety if i want to cancel my shot and wait for some reason - very safe indeed.
Factory aperture sight really works well, and the rifle is really mean indeed with a Hawke Red Dot sight. I've got a rat in my garden that I'm trying to zap with it...

Innova Shooter's Response to Innova shooter's Review
Written on: 26/04/2007
Hello again. Sorry for any typos in my review. The obvious one was that silicone oil gums up not 'guns up' so sorry for any confusion.
<br/>
<br/>I also own the excellent Crosman 1377 pistol too. What I've found with pneumatics is that its very hard sometimes to load diabalos, and I find they can tumble end over end. I find Wadcutters are much better, and the RWS hobby works just great in my innova. Not tried Bisley practice yet in the Innova, but I've been very happy with their .177s in my HW57. Pointed pellets load ok as well, but for now I tend to stick with Wadcutters. Very accurate, and did a penetration test into a ball of bluetack. They expand nicely upon impact, thus avoiding over penetration. Just the remedy that I need for rats, so they will absorb the full force of the pellet.

<br/>Lastly, if you feel like I do about the 12ft lbs law, then lobby your M.P. to get your voice heard. My view is that lets say 12-24ft lb should be available on a shotgun cert instead of FAC. Holland Belgium and Germany don't seem to have a problem with air weapons over 12ft lb (and like Britain are densely populated too). I am in favour of a mail order ban though, and think this will go some way to stop airgun abuse/misuse by a minority who have no actual interest in shooting as a sport or hobby.

Written on: 29/10/2006 by shambles
My mate had a Sharp in 1990, as kids we messed about and screwed the safety valve in a bit more!!! Well what can i say.
The range was extended 150% but the noise was a bit much, so a silencer should be fitted and then hey presto a recoiless silent vermin killer.
These rifle's are great!

hello, i too have an innova, ive restored the wood to better than new and it pumps to 3. very hard ! but i am looking for the mod to increase the power if possible. it can bury a 22 pellet into an oak board at 10 meters the slug is just proud at 2 pumps and at 3 it has gone under the surface totaly. a friend has one that pumps to 12 or more but mine seems harder to pump. perhaps its all ready modified? anyway im looking for the mod sheet.

I own a Sharp .22 Innova.

All was well, and it was fantastically accurate putting pellets through the 'i' in Carling beer cans etc., (not my own! at 15) excellent results both for hunting and plinking.

The seals should not have blown with 8-10 pumps, this is within the recommended number of pumps. a competant gunsmith should be able to make an adaptor for the Innova.

The Sharp Innova .22 is a wonderful air rifle, it's a pity it still isn't made, if you see one in a shop get it, you won't regret it. As mentioned in a previous review you can drop it from in a tree (which I have done) and it won't go off, a very safe gun to use as well! Also it is very light, you can carry it all day without getting tired, and well weighted, e.g. not too heavy at the front or back of the gun. (read more)

You can get a few silencers to fit the old innova even the new silencers. What really matters is you need a new fittment for the forend of the barrel which houses the barrel end and the lever mount. Mine was made from alloy but i was told you could get steel ones also. If you have the before mentioned fittment you can use an adapter to use a few different silencers. If memory serves me right I had a parker hale on mine. Hope this helps. Martin

I had 2 Innova in .177 and .22 and 2 Ace in both caliber too. I live in Bali, Indonesia. I knew the Japanese who design Sharp rifle; he's the design of Japanese's Arisaka rifle (WWII)
<br>Sharp Innova can be pumped to 10times maximum (1000fps with 7.0grs pellet .177)
<br>but Ace can be pumped to 12 times to reach 1100pfs with 7.0grs .177, They both use the same reservoir cylinder but different in pump stroke length and barrel length, in precharged air rifle barrel length does effect how fast pellet will accelerate not like in springer.
<br>Personally I had killed a small 44pounds boar with .22 Ace in very short distance (still hunting) with pointed alloy pellet (Cobra 22,7grs from ARS) it penetrates the skull and drops it almost sudden

Impressive! Here in the UK we are restricted to 12ftlbs of power from an air rifle this equates to 4 pumps with the Innova and 7 pumps with the ace, the rifles are modified for the UK market with a release valve built into the piston so the rifle cannot be pumped over the legal limit although they could be modified of course but this would be breaking UK laws.

Hi Benjamin, The problem with your Innova is the exhaust valve is stuck open, this is down to one or two things, the return spring has collapsed &/or the rubber `O` ring that the valve seals into has moved out of its groove. Either way the gun has to be completely stripped, & it would be a good idea to replace all the `O` rings & the piston head while it's in bits & give it a re-lube. I know this gun inside out,so if I can help any more, e-mail me at:-

The .22 Sharp Innova air rifle is simply mind-blowing! Fit a scope straight away - the range is enormous. Velocity must be over 700fps. I killed a small bird at 109 yards & got in my car & drove to where it fell! (aimed 1" above) Verified distance with a tape measure. Later lifted a rabbit off the ground at 48 yards. Professional shooters witnessed. If you see one, buy it or I will. (read more)

A good review, i do owne one of these rifles and have had it around 2 years now.
I can't really fault this rifle only to say i don't think it fits taller shooters as it's a little small.
It was a rifle i always wanted when i was younger but couldn't really afford at the time, so when i found this one in a gun shop not to far away from me i just had to have it.
This one isn't in bad condition and has a small scope which i am going to change for a 4x32 this summer.
One really good thing with this rifle is it isn't limited to the amount of pumps you can put into it!! To say the least it's very powerful. Very light and very accurate.
An all round great Rifle.

I too have a sharps Innova & it will out shoot most springers, ref the comment about the No of pumps, you can only put 6 useful pumps in, any more than that is a waste energy because there is a pressure relief valve in the piston head & it breaks after 6 pumps. You can block this up by using a 6ba grub screw & you can put up to 10/12 pumps in but you will breaking the law if you have'nt got an FAC, cos it goes WELL over the legal limit,:-). Regards Malc.

109 yards amazing, but not possible!
<br>You only aimed 1 inch over target you should have aimed over a foot above the target still losing
<br>90per cent of the energy with a 22!!! i77 would still be not possible without horrific elevation in complete still wind conditions.
<br>Unless your sharp defies gravity then I suggest you poodle down to home base and buy a new tape measure, tall stories in shooting are almost as bad as fishing ones!
