Opinions on Rifle Type

[Blackpowder Burn]

Marshall,

I'll be happy to post pictures when I get it. 

I did buy a C Sharps 1875 Classic Sporter off Gunbroker.  It was pristine and really shoots well.  The only problem is that the ad didn't say it had a heavy octagon barrel, thus weighing in at 11.5 pounds.  That's far too heavy for what I intend to use the rifle for.  However, the little shooting I did with it impressed me.  Someone could take it and put on a good set of vernier tang sights and globe front and have a good BPCR rifle.

Anyway, I'm selling it and buying exactly what I want from the factory this time - the Hunters Carbine.
