I drove up to Kittery Trading Post in Maine yesterday and picked it up. 100% perfect condition. Appears unfired! Not a mark on the muzzle and extremely low wear on the chamber block. Not a rub or scratch anywhere. Even where the tang sight folds down and impacts the comb of the stock....
The price in the C Sharps web site does not include 8.25% Fed Tax, the Mid-Range CSA Tang Sight and the CSA bubble level front site, single set trigger, pistol grip. All in, a new one exactly like what I bought is $2138.00 plus shipping and FFL transfer.
I paid $1375 out the door. No tax with a New Hampshire transfer. A Smok'n Deal!
I posted the range results on another thread. It is a shooter!
Very impressed with the fit and finish. The wood to metal fit is simply amazing. I removed the stock to breath on the trigger a bit and I couldn't believe the fit of wood to metal and the internals. C Sharps really makes a great rifle!
Kittery has a 1885 C Sharps in 97% condition for $2100 in 38-55...............Road Trip!
