Couple of years ago I ordered a Cimarron Uberti 1860 Civilian Model. Opened the box up to inspect the piece and found the muzzle face had ding marks, and the finish was blemished. Although Buffalo Arms made good on the piece, I picked up a few vibes that maybe they thought I dropped the piece.
On second consideration on my original post, Cabellas having the best deals I've seen, have an excellent return policy. I guess there are always a few lemons in the bunch.
