I know some of you will not want to hear this but the imported TTN and EMF Co. coach guns are made in China. They are a very high quality reproduction of the 1878 Colt hammer coach shotgun. The Cowboy Actions Shooter love them. The hammers angled in close for fast dual cocking. They come with reduce power hammer springs installed. There is supposed to be a case harden receiver model coming out soon. Nice well made Shotguns.
Review by: Hero's Arms
This reproduction of a Colt 1878 Model SxS Hammer Shotgun was made in China specifically for Cowboy Action shooting. It is, as far as I can tell, an absolutely authentic copy of the Colt 1878 which Hero's Arms sold to the importer in 2002, which they subsequently sent to China. The variance from the original are principally for safety in that it has fluid steel barrels, instead of Damascus, and 3" chambers for modern shells. It is built to a very high standard, both barrels are an absolutely straight .733" inside diameter, unusual on all but the highest quality guns, the wood to metal fit is excellent, and the gun functioned flawlessly for a round of skeet. As with the original there is no safety, aside from not cocking the hammers. Again, as with the original it has a very large drop at the comb and heel, and a steel buttplate. This should be a very authentic Old West style coach gun for Cowboy Action shooting. It could also be a reasonable home defense gun because the hammers provide a visible indication of cocking.
