Is the Daniel R. Sheetz Model 1 Maynard currently in production? If so does anyone have contact info for the maker? Any experience or opinions of them?

Thanks

I believe it was submitted last year. The one I saw was a really nice copy of the Model one right down to the the working tape primer. If you can get one you'll be more then pleased!

Do you know the price or where to get one?

Don, Just remind me at the next shoot and I can introduce you to him. He's at most shoots at the fort. Good guy. Nice work.

The question is still on the table; is it actually in production? Also, what kind of price and availability could an interested shooter expect to face? As popular as the Maynard is in both of its types and original or repro versions. Inquiring minds...

Was told that his phone number would be researched and sent to me. Haven't seen it yet. Perhaps Mr. Sheetz follows this Forum and will provide contact and other details.

Mr. Sheetz is working on a few model 1 Maynards. One is for his brother and I don't know if the others are promised. I've helped him out with hammer and trigger blanks and I've got the barrels ready for finishing when he needs them. They won't be ready this year. He is a one man operation. He's retired and has a shop at his home and has other customers as well as being part owner in a business that consumes some of his time. It is best to try to contact him at a skirmish. He shoots with the 11th Va. Cav.

Mr. Sheetz was given a N-SSA Production Approval because he intended to make a few more Model 1 Maynards for family members, and his submitted example was as near perfect a copy as had ever been seen. This will permit him to produce them as he sees fit and not be required to go through the Individual Approval process for each one. As John Bly pointed out Mr. Sheetz does not run a production shop. In addition, he is not required to ever make any more replica Model 1 Maynards.
