Unless they just dropped a new one, the blued S was a 24" barrel, the A is 22"

That could get interesting.

109 here would have us mossbacks all melt!

Had 82 the other day, today was just over 60.

Rear sight looks identical to the one that just arrived on my Quigley after over 3 years. Its an MVA, Montana Vintage Arms.

Some of you must have seen these out now? K1-S is the medium weight, but is still 22" and not 24". Stainless and walnut, several on GB, all appear to have real nice walnut stocks. A bit pricey but nice rifles. I think if I didnt already have the African 77 I would pop for one of these.

Here ya go. https://www.gunbroker.com/item/1105362821

I had the .303 for a while, but sold it as I just didnt get along well with the rifle, I found it very awkward especially with a scope mounted. It shot well, but I think I have been spoiled by the Ruger No.1 system which is much more user friendly at least to me.

Just delivered after a 3 year wait. Shiloh Quigley in .45-110 Sharps. Havent shot it yet. Also have a few Ruger No.1's in various cals., .257 R, .405 Win, and .475 Linebaugh.

Old thread I know, but nice rifles. I am actually pondering the purchase of one, a '65 GK. We shall see..... My biggest concern it the scope arrangement. It has the high claw mounted 4X Hensoldt and with the low comb buttstock I can see a riser likely would be needed to get any kind of cheek...

Thank you. High number Springfield.

What kind of 03 is it?

So what kind of Springfield is it?

My first question would be, what exactly do you have? Early '03, 03A3, high number '03? What maker? '03 Springfield covers a lot of ground.

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.

Big fan here too, have owned them in several calibers and sizes, but they do hurt in the big bores. Biggest I have now is the .405 Win and its not too bad in the Tropical weight. Also have the 1S in .475 Linebaugh which is a rare and fun shooter, and a K1A in .257 Roberts a sweet rifle. Many...

Had my new one to the range now and its looks quite promising with just one load tried.

The latest on a pet peeve of mine... I was right all along, they flew them in on the pretext of relieving pressure on border crossings, then claimed illegal crossing were down, duh, if you fly them in instead! They now admit, that most of this was fraud ridden baloney, most of the so called...

My avatar buffalo is shown with my .375 Whitworth in Botswana.

How early and what cal? Pics if you can. We love them here. I have a very early 1974 in .458 Win.

Thanks! It helps with the queasiness of new members selling things. Get lots of scammers these days.

They never stay on, I have lost at least 3 into orbit.

Post up a picture of the books WITH your user name and the date written down on a piece of paper.

I search hard to find books on bookfinder.com. There is only the one there from Amazon, price dropped to $4870

Interesting. usually the express sights are only the .375 and .458 cals. Wonder if it was put on post factory, to make it more classic.

I had my Ruger 1-S in .475 Linebaugh out today to the range. Shot well, likes the 400 gr Hornady XTP very well. Mine is the 22" barrel, not the stubby .

Yes, most are beech, I found online that was walnut so bought it to replace the issue stock full of plugs.

I need to space out what I shoot over longer periods, a result of having lots, perhaps too many things to shoot. In my case thats a good thing since I may soon not be buying anymore guns due to a new law that may get passed here soon. It would require a permit and training, etc just to...

Have shot mine a couple of times now and its a shooter for sure.

I got mine some time ago, still havent read it though.

Yours is a custom stock, not factory.

One can hope. Actually I would be surprised if it wasnt a good shooter. Had more than a few of these Mark X/Whitworth rifles and all have been good shooters, even the used Euro imports, marked M70.

There is one on GB right for only $3500!!

Two plus weeks for the waiting period to cool my heels, but got it home today. Looks pretty nice. It has had some work done to it. Rifle was bedded professionally in what may be Marine Tex, it probably was done in Alaska so that would make sense. Has a nice Timney trigger, a Pachy Decelerator...

That one is overpriced. One sat on GI for months and finally sold for $1250, then one popped up on Gunbroker overnight, it was in my email this morning, but sold for a Buynow of $999. I would have bought that one!
