Chaparral Arms

[hooey]

Anyonehere familiar with or own any lever action rifles made/imported by Chaparral arms? I'm looking at an 1873 Winchester they offer at a fairly reasonable price. I have an Uberti Henry and I really like the quality and workmanship of the Uberti's...just wondering if I can expect the same from Chaparral?

Most of the folks on the SASS Wire prefer Uberti.
Look around there:

Which if you take a look at cimaron. they are some fine guns. basicly uberti guns that are really cleaned up and perfected. A very good quality gun

You need an usabe rifle or a wall display rifle?
I am Italian, Chaparral is italian, but my advice is to keep your hand far away from it, IMHO is the lower end of replica production!
