anyone know about UNITED STATES ARMS ABILENE ?

[ChasMack]

Pretty much what it says above. Just wanting to know if anyone has had one or knows anything about them....are they in business, when were they in business, how good are the guns? I have read one item where it was said they were in conflict with Ruger and that Ruger was threatening lawsuit over their guns being copies of Ruger. They appear to have a nicer finish, etc but that's all I know about them.

Read the posts by Seville. His father designed and built them. The entire thread is fascinating.

(How do I remember ever seeing this stuff so I can go search for it?)

Check out the forum over at www.singleactions.com. Those guys over there know a lot about the Abilene, and they speak very highly of it.
