Thanks for an interesting post! I have long been wanting to go on a driving tour through parts of the West, my last having been in 1990, before I was interested in buffalo rifles. Inclusion of the Shiloh factory has long been part of the dream, and seeing that C. Sharps does tours adds to the appeal of a stop in Big Timber.
I very nearly layawayed a pre-owned 1875 C. Sharps a year or two ago, but while examining it, found a problem in the action. The shop sent it in for repair, though I don't know if it went to C. Sharps or to a local gunsmith. I inquired a few times to see if it had come back, but nobody seemd to remember it being sent out, so I don't know what became of that rifle. That is one drawback of a large shop; so much division of labor that it becomes difficult to check on things like that.
