I saw that shop on the Colbert Report earlier this year.

Sad to say, I still love toy guns.
 
I can't say that I care for their selection, but applaud the concept.

I wish they'd make the Mattel Fanner .45, the Hubley Trooper, and I think, the Nichols copy of the Remington cap and ball guns, and ther Colt .45 (actually, the .44 1860 Army) Colt. I think it was ny Mattel or by Hubley. Had a gold cylinder in a fake nickled gun, red presentation box. Anyone recall those?

Those are cool but the favorites from my youth were diecast modern guns. I remember having a snubnose "Dick Tracy" gun, 1911 and a "Luger" with an action that moved when you squeezed the trigger. My brother and I would always get the jumbo sized bag of roll caps from the dime store for hours of shooting fun...
 
The store owners were able to track down some original molds used to make these guns in the 1950's and are using these molds to cast the "new" cap guns from zinc.

According to the Texas Country Reporter interview, they would like to find more of the old molds, but I can imagine that would be a difficult task, as most were likely scrapped.

The four models they manufacture here are all that will be available unless they find more molds.
 
After relateing how my Roy Roger's cap gun set was stolen when I was a kid, my Daughter got me a set of cap guns for Christmas the year before last. It was my best Christmas present for quite awhile! They are el-cheapos from the dollar store nickeled with ivory grips, but they look nice in the man cave!, Buy em while you can!
 
Now that brings back memories!. Just think if we had all those ones we played with as kids!. Along with all the metal trucks and Army vehicles. Probably worth a lot.

It is really neat that they have a schematic (Bronco 44) and you can replace parts. I could actually be a Gunsmith.:)
 
I still have most every toy gun I ever had as a kid. Matel's Fanner 50's, Hubbley 1860 Colt Army that you could load dummy rounds in the cylinder. The rounds took a single round cap for each one. Several other Hubbley's. Remember the pirate looking pistols from the 50's. I have a single and double barrel one. Also a Hubbley metal semi-auto from the 50's. How about the Trainer bolt action rifles with wooden stock and rubber bayonet.

I believe I'll add a Bronco 44 to my short list. :) And bless their hearts, they make lefty holsters. Back in the Fifties, if you were left-handed and wanted a left-handed single gun rig, you either had to make it yourself or get a double rig and cut off the right-hand holster. Some things in this world are getting better.

Man, I wish I still had my Flintlock pistol, my double-barrel and my Kentucky rifle.

The Flintlock pistol, with ram-rod removed and a wooden ruler stuck in the slot was my dedicated M3 submachine gun.

The Kentucky rifle got sawn off to become a Ruger Mini 14.

Good times.

Actually, look for Parris cap guns in your Google search - if you're missing one of your old cap guns, it'll be there, most likely.
 
Good grief, I haven't seen cap guns or roll caps in stores since the mid-90s when I got mine... I don't even know where mine got to. Didn't work very well either, but they were fun at the time... Mine all looked like Colt Single Action Army's. I think I had two that the side opened up, and one that split in half at the top.
