I don't think guys were "trashing" the Co, so much as they were the "greed factor" of the "Purveyor" and being that originals can still be bought for less ( $ 650. and $ 750. at the last Allentown gun show ) I think $ 1000. is way over priced.
Since I jumped into this, I might as well finish it. What's wrong with the guy asking that price or any price he damn well wants? I don't agree with the prices SDH asks for the guns he sells. So what? I just won't buy one of them. I won't call him names.
If you have $650 actions at gun shows, or even $750 actions, maybe you should buy them all, ship them out here and sell them for hideous profit or better a small profit for the benefit of everyone that cannot find such things at ANY PRICE at a gun show (or much of anywhere else).
I tend to get upset with guys that seem to be into guns only to see if they can make a fast buck, yes a dealer has to make a living, I know this as fact retiring from the full time gun business after 35 years, but some guys seem to do nothing but try an take advantage of fellow Single Shooters and there profit margin is almost immoral.
Then I take it you are upset with Meacham, Ballard Rifle (when they used to sell actions), C.Sharps and American's in general.
crap, I don't know the guy selling it, and I don't want it, but damn if I don't think he deserves to try to sell it for any price he damn well wishes. I have a rifle for sale in the classifieds. It may be overpriced or underpriced, but the price reflects what I'm willing to exchange for it. If you and 6 billion other folks don't like it, I'll keep it. I'm sure the action dealer feels the same way.
I didn't realize guns have come to pricing by committee these days.
