ok, first off, I did use the search function, and I did find some older threads about replicas - uberti, palmetto, pietta,etc...
Now for my thread:
The movie Pale Rider was on again tonight... been on every couple nights this week on AMC... and once again I watched the street cleaning scene... where he is shooting his 1858 remington new model army, and swapping cylinders...
thanks for the help in my Pale Rider thread.
Now I'm all fired up in getting one or more of these C&B replicas - walker, dragoon, 1851 navy, 1858 new army, etc. I think 3 would be enough. An early "big & heavy" gun such as the walker, a later more streamlined gun - maybe an 1851 navy, and then the remington new model army - since it is different than the colts, and I can get the cartridge conversion cylinder for it.
So I'm asking about the replica companies. Are uberti replicas decent quality, how "historically accurate" are they? Are any other companies a better deal for the money? Where are good places to get them? I found these companies that sell them: midway, bronells, fall creek suttlery, dixie, and others.
thanks for any comments
