There are some that are made by Armi San Marco and from my past dealings with anything they make it will cause you trouble. The quality of the internal workings on the guns they build is not good at all. I talked with one of the employees at EMF a few days ago about one of the revolvers that is made for them by Armi San Marco. He said that they will not have them build anything else as the guns have caused them a bunch of problems. A lot of the parts they put in guns are not case hardened and wear and break long before they should.

Anybody seen one of these yet? I see they're advertised in the cowboy chronicle, but haven't seen them available anywhere yet.chippa is made by armi sports i think ,if so do some reserch before buying,i bought one of there Spencer 56-50 rifles sight unseen wen i got it the magizine lock had not been fited the forstock was so loose the barell band floped about ,all easily fixed but the worst problem was the twist of the rifling 1 in 20 ,this twist ment that to shoot the 350gr spencer bullit any further than 50yds was a wast of time(i have had beter acuracy with smoothbores)barell needs a twist rate of no farster than 1 in 36,to be fair i tryed 450 gr boolits in it very good acuracy but you can only get 30gr maximum pouder in the casse,other armi sports guns i have seen all have quality controll problems ,the two most comon are wrong twist rates in barells,screws & sights that come loose,if you lick tinkering with guns you will luve these guns,but eventuly if you stick to it you will end up with a reasnably reliable rifle and know your rifle inside out

Go with the Winchester/Miroku or Browning/Miroku.

Here is mine, 45-70 Cal.
It's perfect.....Wood to metal fit is outstanding.
Actually I like it better then the Japanese Winchester/Browning,no tang safety,no re bound hammer,more authentic IMO

I have a Spencer made my armisport and imported by cimeron that I bought from Buffalo Arms a couple of years ago. I have shot mine at 100 and 200 yards and find that it is accurate for the sights it comes with. Once I figured out the trajectory at 200 yards I hit five out of five of our reduced size rams at that distance. Considering the eight pound trigger pull and the issue sights I really thought it shot pretty good.
