Does anyone have experience with the new ownership at CPA’s workmanship regarding the quality of the Winchester low walls they are building?

GARD,

Something to consider.

I have Uberti Low Wall that I enjoy.
Believe they are around $1,200.00--$1,300.00. (one on Gun Broker chambered in 45 colt)) 
I also have a couple of other Uberti's which I think are well made and quite presentable. Yes they are repro's.  

My Low Wall was re barreled by the prior owner to 32-40 (12 twist)

For the price of the rifle and a different barrel, you can have the cartridge you want in very little time compared to a 5K new build. Granted it's not a 'Sharps' or an antique but for the $$$ to me it's a good compromise if looking for a Low Wall. 

Of course the CPA 44 1/2 is a great choice & worth considering.
I didn't know they are building Low Walls. , A recent search on line does not address this.

I'm wanting a new gun. I'm a shooter not a original collector. I'm wanting something in pistol caliber that's cheap and easy to progressive reload. 

I have been looking at C.Sharps Low Walls.  They offer 45LC. It has a little more powder capacity than I wanted but checks all the boxes.

My concern is by the time I select all the options I want it's 5k. That is the price/quality of rifle in looking for. I'm just not sure a C.Sharps 1885 is worth spending that much money on. Getting exactly what you want is not cheap.

I have a C.Sharps High Wall. It's a nice plain gun. Not sure what someone can tell me that I want to hear.

The one they built for me will shoot into about a half inch @ 100 yards  Smiley
