I hope to enjoy it, thanks. They do need a refresher in timely communications. Getting info from them is like pulling teeth. 3 years isnt too bad, but I was told 2 years. I asked 4 times for tracking info on this gun, and got nothing. LGS called and said come do the papers, that means it was...

Got my hands on it today. Almost anticlimactic after 3 years. Bring it home in a couple of weeks. Counter guy wanted his pic taken with it I guess, volunteered for the full length shot, LOL.

At 71 and being one born and raised here, love being around salt water and boats, cruising etc., I aint moving again, not no how, not no way.

Yep, had them for years.

Maybe a last day bull, but he sure has a neck on him!

New to the .45-110, but had a C. Sharps in .45/70 and shot mostly black with it. Its just more of the same, longer case.

$230 for 20 pcs.

Ha, no worries. In fact if loaded up to full snuff, its dang near there, but probably wont be much fun to shoot. The later Lyman manuals shows some fierce stuff that I want no part of.

Talk about insane prices. I recently saw I think it was 20 pcs of new brass for the .45-110 go for something over $400. Fortunately I got in a pretty good supply a couple of years ago and probably enuf for my needs till they throw dirt in my face.

They are probably safe from me!

Any and all at some point. Was going thru my stash today and found a lot of lead bullets from my last Sharps, have black powder and everything needed to load it. To begin with I will shoot smokeless and jacketed.

That looks like a bad case, it happens. I note though that the later stuff seems hotter than previous. I had one round of that show obvious pressure signs not long ago. I pulled one down, noted the charge then dumped a few grains out of some others of that box.

Hi Don, In Washington state, they passed a law a few years ago mandating a 10 business day wait for ALL firearms. So with weekends and holidays it can stretch to 16 days. It sucks but it is what it is, no way around it.

My Quigley rifle is shipping today after just over 3 years. I was told 2 years when I ordered it. Should see it in a few days, but still have the 2 week waiting period to sit thru but after 3 years I can do that standing on my head! Will post up a pic or two when I see it. Cal is .45-110...

At least two on the list are not US made so really shouldn't even be there. I say go Colt. I have others as well, but the Colt's would be the last to go.
