Got an email the other day and I knew y’all would be interested in it.
A brand new Sharpshooter kit.
This one is packaged as coming from Timberline Hawk and differs in construction from my example. The hand guard cover is improved by the addition of Velcro to allow it to be removed easily. The butt stock cover is the real pain in the ass to install. If I made a new version of this I would certainly use Velcro for that as well.
Just for fun I am including a pic from the movie Daylight’s End showing a Sharpshooter in use.
Rick another ArmaLite rarity for sure, if I had to guess that Sharp Shooter kit was a late UK/Sterling revision of the original with the use of Velcro on the handguard section. Nice that it came with original packaging that indicates it was from Timberline-Hawk Costa Mesa CA that was managed by John Mcgerdy.
GEEZ RICK, THIS IS LIKE OPENING “THAT OLD RAILCAR” THATS BEEN PARKED ON THE SIDING RAIL FOR YEARS AND FINDING A RED 63 CORVETTE WITH ORDER FORMS AND SHIPPING INSTRUCTIONS ALL INTACT.
