Interesting info there Prof.    Could be a good reference when looking to purchase a pre-owned 1873 replica.

Great link there!

That is some enlightening information. According to that ASM was in business a lot longer than I thought.

See.....I learned something new today. Thanks for posting the info. Can someone set me straight..... under Uberti, the serial number range for the year 2000 includes USFA. I thought they made their own parts, but maybe just finished parts furnished by Uberti?

Mazo, if we are reading the same thing it says "by the 2000's". That does not refer to serial numbers. It means sometime in the the years 2000 to 2009 USFA's were all American made. I think the generally accepted timeframe is that by sometime between 2002 and 2004 all USFA's were made entirely from USA made parts.

OK, thanks for enlightening me. Too bad USFA went out of business; they were expensive, but very nice.
