I'm sure I've sent ment more high quality home cast bullets down range than you have or will. I just can't throw away $1000.00 to be a name dropper. You girls apparently can.

And you have also never shot BPCR in National competition. I can tell that by the lies you tell about it. You are the worst poser on this site and one dumb Sonofabitch to boot. I know teenage kids with more real gun knowledge than you have.

I've shot plenty of high quality cast bullets in dozens of different guns for nearly 50 years. I've never said anything about BPCR Competition since I'm not interested in it.

Y'all can keep blowin' smoke as long as you want to. We all I am the only one who know that thinks I'm right. Your post had some errors as you wrote it so I corrected it for you. You can thank me later. Hey, Mark . . . still shootin' them pot-metal locks on your MLs??? Better keep shootin' them cuz you sure as he!! don't know anything about BPCR guns.

Brent,
We werecarving Sharps Actions outta' BILLET up in B.C. in the 1970s.
I handled and SHOT the prototype C.Sharps '75 with my friend Schofstal (World Creedmoor 2002) before they went into production. I've also gotten to handle and drool on some beautiful Axtel 77s', and enjoy the smiles of the Fair Carmen Axtel.
Thanks for the Historical advice, and the basics briefing.....I kinda' thought we were on the same page,...
You pretty much assume that you're an oracle of some sort, and nobody else ever played with these damn things, I guess.

Well, fair Carmen has her legion of admirers for certain. But I've never met her, and I've only spoken with her once on the phone myself. I will say however, for as fair as she may have been and as sleek as her rifles appearedm they were not always well made. And that's being polite. That one of mine in particular. I could tell you about a pile of others as well. Or you could come to Raton and I could introduce you to a few folks. Meanwhile, some fancy machine work and a new barrel fixed saved my 77 from the scrap heap. I know the difference between 77s and the real 75s. And I know how to make my 77 shoot, but it was no easy road. You can call that oracling or whatever the hell you want.

The "English Sharps" is an inherently WEAK design, and Carmen Axtel was left with the mess her HUSBAND made outta' those weak wristed pretties.
Raton ?
Hey, careful, what you wish for there, Mister.

GTC Yes I know all the sordid stories. Has zip to do with making a rifle correctly, and this one wasn't. Ditto for many others. Before and after the lonely senorita. And if the 77 is a weak design, you must be the only savant in the universe to discover the fact. They are plenty strong - just not built right. Raton - I'll be there - you not so likely. Wishing ain't got [bleep] to do with it.

Right, removing the MASSIVE, THICK RHS lockplate, that was KEYED and massively screwed, integral to the '74 receiver, and replacing it with a spindly little English sidelock, and WOOD all hogged out like an English Shotgun's wrist (per the '77) made a "Strong" design. Right Brett, sure, whatever you say there. GTC

Okay Mr. Oracle. See you in Raton, and you can watch my 77 fly apart...
Go pick on Swampman. He needs your support.

I'll keep shooting MOA groups with my $600.00 gun. You girls can keep holding each other's hand and telling yourselves it was money well spent.

GTC Facts are facts. She may be very likable. I'm sure she is. But her rifles are messed up, and I bet you know the truth of it. But if not, give Kirk Bryan a call - after all, he bought her jigs and moulds to start making the 77s. He is still trying to bring them up to Shiloh standards.

I know Carmen Axtel I shot along side her several times and talked to her, she is a very pleasant likable Lady. But Brent is right about the 77. I have a friend that has one and it has been a thorn in his side since he got it and the company never stood behind it to make it right.
