Well -you can't beat cabella.
I've sold a lot of guns but I never sold enough to make any decent money--but enuff to keep me still doin it
I just try to break even.
Uberti is best for the tradional C/B revolver.(1851 navy, 1861 navy and rems dragoons and Armys. Pietta makes all kinds and the upper end models are great. Watch out for the $199 specials. You get what you pay for. And better buy now! here is why:
Distributor told me today: All prices are up--freight charges mainly. I paid at distributor price for a screw for trigger bolt spring/ sear/ Pietta 1860 Army---$5.00 ---the small frame studs are over $2.00 Now--if Cabella can sell these guns at such affordable prices--better buy them now. And, of course. Italy goes on vacation in August.
We send 1/3 of guns purchased through the net back because of defects. But that is better than 50/50 chance. Make sure the hammer goes into correct cocks and plungers slips EASY in chamber at 6 o'clock when fully cocked. If that doesn't happen then don't look for cosmetics--send it back.
