IAB Sharps Kits - Junk?

[Killer Kanuck]

I noticed that Loyalist Arms (still) has an IAB 1866 Sharps sporting kit listed on their special page. Looks to be a fairly inexpensive way to get a Sharps. But, are you getting value for your money or a chunk of steel and wood that won't hit a barn door at 50 yards? Anybody have any experience with the IAB kits?

I purchased an IAB from Loyalist and after recieving it I had it rewrapped and sent back within 30 minutes. It was absolutely the biggest piece of junk I have ever seen. I had Loyalist send me a Pedersoli and I am very happy with it.

If you need an entry level sharps, get a pedersoli. I LOVE mine for the price! Great value!

Just got an email saying they were out of stock anyway.
What the cheapest price going for a Pedersoli Sharps?

Marstar lists Pedersoli Sharps on their web site. The price looks quite reasonable.
