Gunleather, SASS #46543 Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Does anyone have any experience with what the CZ Sharp-Tail coach gun. I’m looking for a new hammerless shotgun. Any other recommendations are welcome. Quote
Lead Monger Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Hi Gunleather. Pokin A. Long has been running a Sharp Tail coach gun for a couple seasons now. Out of the box it has a few problems. Very stiff and does not open very wide. It also springs closed just a bit and empty’s can hang up coming out. The gun also has a massive extractor that for some folks is an issue. With that said. Installing a Shotgun Boggy spring kit, adjusting the cocking rods to allow for wider opening and no spring back and polishing the hing and small parts makes a fine shotgun. Trimming the extractor can be done if it interferes with your style of loading and the usual polishing of the chambers helps just like any other shotgun. The mechanical single trigger is very reliable. Using AA LNLR shells and an even lighter hand load it has never failed to fire. Lead Monger 4 3 Quote

I’m looking for a new hammerless shotgun. Any other recommendations are welcome. I have 2 from Ken Griner and love them. They are very reliable and after Ken does his magic they are ready for any caliber of shooter in SASS. I have had mine for around 3 years now without any issues. The only issue I have is I don't shoot my backup one very often since my primary has never failed me. I have since decided my backup will be for when I shoot black powder matches so it will now at least get some usage. Check him out. TM Edited April 15 by Texas Maverick Quote
The Original Lumpy Gritz Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Love mine, it was tuned up by Longhunter. Sad to say, he no longer does this. Contact Ken Griner for excellent work. 2 Quote
Windy City Kid Posted April 15 Posted April 15 Was very stiff at first, lever was very hard to open. After our smith did the work, it falls open easily, very reliable. 1 Quote
