Point Taken.

I really didn’t want to burst your bubble, but those have been a true source of disappointment to me. The first time I read of them I jumped for joy.

They have the lines, double triggers (yes!), and would appear to be a great idea, right up until you handle one and the sad realization hits. These are kid’s rifles, and an expensive proposition for a kid’s rifle at that.

Whoever scaled the Sharps pattern down just went too far, and somehow lost the reliability that was a byword of the design. My buddy that I mentioned was showing me a spare extractor, and you could tell just by looking at it that it was a Rube Goldberg special.

I’m sorry Aaron, but if you can live without double set triggers there are plenty of better ideas out there.
