Late in sharing this, but Tuesday I was at a LGS and shooting the bull. I had brought along a CZ 527 in 6.5Grendel, and a AR I had put together cheap. The cz was a shooter, but had the plain beech stock, and just did not fill a niche in my collection. I noticed a Sharps setting in the rack. It was a new unfired 1874 Business rifle, in 45/70 with nice case and walnut, with a 32"barrel and buckhorn sights. To say they were eager to get rid of it was a understatement, as they dont like the type of guns, catering to CZ, Christian Arms and Tactical rifles types. They had bought it in a estate sale, all or nothing. I mentioned a two for one trade, the CZ and the AR even up. They had $1200 on the gun, with all the box and paperwork. They asked me $200 to boot. I told them no, I would pass. They then had me bring them in and they looked them over. I had a guy interested in the CZ standing there talking, as he knew me and knew I had glass bedded it and had some great loads worked up. I told them i was running short on time, and they said here fill out the paperwork. I had less than $300 in the AR and about $400 in the CZ and the rings , so I am into it for about $700 total. And I kept my promise to my wife of another gun not coming in unless one left. That brings to mind, the question, since I got rid of 2, that means I can bring another one home??I will get TBG to post pics
