I wanted one of the Taylor marketed Remington 1890's so bad. I tried to find one and Taylor said all gone. I called company that made them for Taylor and they had a contract with US Gov to make M-16 parts or frames, I can't remember which. I asked if there was enough parts left over to make just one. He told me to get in line. They had plenty of orders and no intention to make any more.
They had a price above the Colt SAA, but would have been worth it.
I had a Uberti 1875 and is was just not the same. I had the hammer notches re-cut and several things done to improve the timing and such. It became an expensive Italian clone and still had issues.
Some day!!!
