This gun is as NIB as it gets. Custom order from standard MFG (successor to USFA) in 45 cal. Special order nickel with fire blue appointments and extra fancy walnut grips.
4.75" bbl in box with all paperwork and card board over sleeve. Wish I could take better pics as it's a beauty!! $1975 get's it done
Looks pretty nice. As far as I know Standard Manufacturing, Freedom Arms and USFA are not related to one another.

A lot of people say Standard is using USFA's old machinery.
Abilene yes they are using USFAs old tooling and also employ a couple former USFA machinists.

Just because they are does not mean any thing. I can buy anything at auction - it does not make me a successor.

semantics, :-\ I suppose.

: one that follows Standard Manufacturing's SAA did follow USFA (when they closed down)
On the other hand, the infamous abysmal ZIP gun 22cal by USFA's Donnally was
a doomed successor.
