More good news from USFA.  And if I might add......about time!!  Should be interesting to see when they actually go into production.  I am betting not for 2 years,  but we shall see.  Safe shoting. Deadeye.

2 questions.

1.  Is Remington or USFA going to be selling these models?

2.  Is Remington's new owner going to change anything?

Now if only USFA would make a Winchester 73, life would be complete.

OK, just when I thought I had all the pistols I needed. Oh, well. Life is that way. I'm in for a pair. 

[Capt. John Fitzgerald]

I, for one, hope that these new guns bear the Remington name.  If they do I will certainly be in the market for both the 1858 and the 1875.

Sounds like USFA has been granted rights by Remington to produce these "clones" and they will likely have USFA name on them.  If Gary Granger cares to give us more information here, that would be fantastic.  Banjoman???
