I recently decided to get an 1858 Remington reproduction, finding them out of stock everywhere I looked I turned to Gunbroker, not sure how badly I overpaid, but it was “cheap” compared to the going scalpers price on the things, seriously, I saw some of them for like $800 and up.
Unfortunately though the one I found is from CVA and I know they only imported it, not made it, and it does not say who actually made it, only “made in Italy.”
I would like to know though so I know which parts to get if I have to fix anything, I’d also like to get proper number 11 nipples from Track of the Wolf and eventually a conversion cylinder, but I can’t do any of that until I find out who made it.
I contacted CVA and they just said it was made sometime before 1999 and that they have no records, instructions, or parts.
Does anyone know who made these? Are they any good?
I don’t have it yet, but here’e a link to the closed auction listing that has pictures:
