I have collected black powder replica revolvers for over 25 yrs. On occasion I sell one to a resident of one of these states. Federal law does not even recognize these revolvers as firearms. However, these states under their state laws want to require it's residents to go through an FFL. If...

It has been a couple of years since I last posted about the Witloe 'Grant" and "Lee" Models of the Remington New Model Army produced by Witloe Precision Inc. of Collingdale, PA. I am still interested in finding any of these either 1st or 2nd Generation. From these postings over the years I have...

Gregorelli & Uberti Prototypes RPRCA has William B. Edwards' 1851 Navy Prototype #1 in its collection. I have never seen or heard of any of the other Prototypes surfacing in the 20+ years I have been collecting. Dennis Russell has the original Colt 1851 Navy #82 that was smuggled into Italy...

Wanted, any information concerning "Witloe Precision, Inc.". They made a replica Remington 1858 New Model Army revolver. Two models were made, the “Grant” and the “Lee”. The “Grant” had a steel frame and the “Lee” had a bronze frame. Also, revolvers marked just "Witloe". I wish to purchase...

Logo This is the logo for Replica Arms. It is a transition from Replica Arms to Navy Arms when Navy Arms purchased Replica Arms. You will notice this same logo on Navy Arms boxes of that period. They were made by Pietta although RPRCA has one such marked Griswold & Gunnison made by Uberti...

Centennial Fluted Cylinder 1860 Army It is too bad you could not measure the barrel length. The 1860 Army with fluted cylinders were originally sold with a shoulder stock. They have an "F" prefix to the serial number and the stock would be numbered the same. If this revolver had an 8" barrel...

Did you know that Pietta made the LeMat with with both a plain cylinder (early models) and an engraved cylinder? Did you also know that they were available with case hardened frames? There were also some fully engraved models and models in the white engraved but not readily available in the...

I wish to express my thanks to the members of this forum for their help in locating information about Remington New Model Army revolvers made by Witloe Precision Inc. of Collingdale, PA., and those produced by R. T. Lane. Over the past fifteen years I have posted on all forums I could find...

I have posted an article about the Schneider & Glassick "Accidental" Replica. Since there has been some discussion about these revolvers I had to add my two cents worth. Again, I preface all my opinions on what I have uncovered at this point and restate that, "The more I learn the less I seem to...

Witloe Remington New Model Army I would like to buy Remington New Model Army replica revolvers made by Witloe Precision Inc. Two models were made. The "Lee" model has a bronze frame and the "Grant" model has a steel frame. Also, 2nd Generation Witloe’s produced by R. T. Lane. Any...

Buying a Replica Revolver from Canada I recently tried to purchase a Pietta Remington New Model Army with case hardened frame, short barrel, and plain cylinder. These are not available in the U.S. I was informed that they could no longer export any firearms to the U.S., not even to the an FFL.

Shoulder stocks I believe the shoulder stock pictured is for the 1851 Navy. These were sold with a replacement hammer screw which fit into the inside slots in the stock. This along with the screw adjustment that holds the stock to the bottom of the revolver grip holds it firm. One problem...

Snubie Romel, who is the manufacturer of this revolver? Is it Pietta? Traditions just added an 1861 Navy with a Birdshead Grip but not a Snubie. Interestingly they also describe their's as an 1860 Army in their catalog.

Madison Import Corp. 1847 Walker I just acquired an 1847 Walker with "MADISON IMPORT CORP." on the left side of the barrel flat above the barrel wedge. It was manufactured by Armi San Marco. This is a new marking that I had never seen in my 18yrs of researching and collecting replica...
