S&W or USFA (for M&H repops)? (reply)

S&W seems highly unlikely. True, they do make ARs and 1911s, but then, who doesn't?

USFA seems an even greater stretch of the imagination. Given their current product, the aptly named 'ZIP' gun, they're probably more likely to make their next big splash with a 'high-caliber' squirt gun.

In view of the none-too-subtle hints in the Broadsword Group announcement, I'd say the most likely candidates hail from Italy, with Uberti probably topping the pile.

The *real* question is, You like-ah-the brass grip frame, yes?

PS: 'Repop' is borrowed from the balloon-tyre bicycle crowd, of which I used to be a card-carrying rider; it simply means 'reproduction'.

Probably not USFA, unless it's plastic and doesn't work. (reply)

Now, the question is.... S&W or USFA? I hope it isn't Taurus.

Sharps certainly did. (reply)

We knew it, but at least they showed great integrity (reply)

"sorry to say, i never got, and probably never will get the M&H i , like others, had ordered. however, all this time later, their successor, Sharps Rifle Co, Glenrock WY tracked me down, called, and sent a refund check for my $310 deposit. I understand as successor to M&H they did not legally have to do this, but it sure shows good character. I think i need to order a sharps rifle now."
