Six years ago I visited CSMC to look at some rifles about which I had been communicating with them for a couple weeks. The salesmen who met me was a young guy from Eastern Europe, bright, professional, never discourteous but on the edge of treating me like a tire kicker. One of the rifles was a German sxs that at first glance was exactly what I wanted. Then I noticed the unrepaired cracked wrist and other material problems. Yes, he said, those are real issues. Why didn't you tell me on the phone, I asked. We set that gun aside. And so it went, though I probably should have bought the sxs rifled 20 ga. shotgun, even when the young man handed me the brochure and told me the price had just gone up $1,200 while I was standing there. CSMC is a heck of an impressive place. I enjoyed looking around. They have a huge collection of classic, high value guns, many of which I am sure do not have undeclared cracked wrists. But my experience that day waved me off, and I never did do any business with them. I do like the idea of CSMC being successful and sticking around.

His name is Camille. From Poland. He left CSMC and went to work for Colt I believe. Also to finish college and to get married. A good man.

Only a sucker would buy that high priced CSMC stuff. Sounds like sour grapes buzz'd. Only a "sucker and a loser" would call CSMC's fine doubles "stuff". Perhaps you should have studied harder in school and found more gainful employment. Aha, youre right Boob, I should have used the word junk rather than stuff. Sorry. So, just to be accurate, its high priced junk rather than high priced stuff.

I have talked with Camille in person at a couple of exhibitions at which CSMC set up for two days. Camille was nice enough but was totally out of his element trying to represent CSMC at a fine gun exhibition in the Low Country of South Carolina. I would probably be thought of as having no personality in his home country, too. It was a big mistake sending him and his girlfriend down to totally represent CSMC. Lou usually comes, and he's one of my favorite people. We just sit and talk for the longest time, whenever he's there. Lou can answer any question you ask about CSMC guns, and does so enthusiastically.
I wish them the best, but can't see myself buying any guns there. For a high-end .410 double it will likely have to be Italian for now, like Chuck.

Reading in an 08 DGJ this afternoon I came on a full page ad introducing the new CSMC 16ga RBL (as well as the 12ga model) and amazingly the pre-production price was indeed $2750. Clearly, I didnt give my old brain cells enough credit. (One caveat, though. That amount was the pre-paid-in-full price.)
