C. Sharps Blunder

[Boz330]

Curious, why a C. Sharps and not a Shiloh ?

Probably the wait time. C-Sharps can generally make you a rifle within a couple months. Last I heard which was sometime ago Shiloh was a 3 year wait. They have a loyal following but so does C-sharps. I have 2 C-Sharps rifles and my experience with them was nothing but positive. In fact I broke a firing pin on my Hiwall the day before deer season and they got it to me at deer camp on Monday which was the next mail delivery day. I did manage to jury rig a firing pin out of a drill bit and it killed a very nice buck opening day.

The system here says I can't send you a PM. I have a BP related question for you but prefer to not start a thread and hope you reply to it. PRB, a flask that was used after a certain rifle was adopted and the charge it throws...

Please LMK how to contact you.

Thanks!

Grump, go ahead now and shoot me a PM. You should have one in your inbox.

Got it, done, thank you and public props for accommodating my request.

Kinda like the old Honda advertising, you meet the nicest people when packing guns.

No explanation as to the choice of MVA over the C. Sharps other than I just like the looks and was familiar with it. The choice of C.Sharps over Shiloh was easy. I may not be alive by the time they finished it. Make no mistake, they make gorgeous rifles but at 69 and two other hobbies I didn't want to wait that long and possible be out of the mood...or out of time.

He must be out of the mood, it's for sale in swapping and sellin

Funny! As for Shilohs it depends on what you want going through Goodman you can your shiloh in 6 months or less. Most direct are 18-20 months. Unless like a bull barrel model may take 2 years, mine from order to delivery was 6 short months.

My bull barreled Shiloh was also less than a year if I remember correctly. I think I called just in time to get in for a bull barrel run. My last Shiloh, a .40-65 took a fair bit longer, but it also has a few more options so the production time was longer.

I'm going to be passing through Montana a couple of times this year. It will be awfully hard not to drop into the Shiloh shop and order another.

It states the front sight on the invoice they sent me so, what happened is anyone's guess. Either way, someone needs an *** chewing.

In the original Sharps company someone would have sat down with the rifle, and pen and an inkwell, and billed you for what was on the rifle. I think this is an example of extra work caused by all those labour-saving devices we have now.

Ain't it the truth!
