I have just the one.... an Italian based USPFA prototype of the Richards made for display at Shot 93.
Extremly nice and smooth shooter.

when planets align...do the deal !

Actually few people, if anybody, "trashes" USFA products.  The criticism is over their poor customer relations and business practices.

You are correct sir.

I saw one of Turnbulls finishes on a Pietta, nice as it was @ $1350 BUCKS  :o sorry Turnbull is nice but not $1000 bucks nice.
 A local Gun shop has had it on consignment for quite some time....I expect it will either be pulled or sold to low offer...
less someone is the fool, PT Barnum spoke of...
Somebody is pulling someone's leg. I have a Turnbull Pietta (Great Western Custom II) with TruIvory grips. If you saw it lying on a table, you'd swear it was a USFA. I bought it online about a year ago for $500.

I just went back and re-read that statement on the Ten-Ring website. It appears to me to have been edited from the original to now emphasize that it pertains only to this special run of Turnbull guns, not to USFA single actions in general .Whew !

Now that was a deal!  Kind of like paying for the Turnbull finish and the grips and getting a gun thrown in free.

Mayhaps !   but it's gone..sold to somebody or someone..no idea the selling price, but if it was the asking price, somebody or someone made PT Barnum a sage !

BTW how is your gun marked ? The one I saw was not Great Western marked.

The one I saw had the FAP Diamond & a Turnbull prancing Bull stamp and had very nice one piece walnut grips.
when planets align...do the deal !

They could be the "last" of the excellent United States Firearms single actions available for all time.  If you have ever wanted to own one of the finest "American made" six-guns ever produced, don't hesitate, for this is probably going to be one of those.....


Sounds like a marketing ploy to boost sales.   ::)

I'm with you, Rowdy. I for one, am fed up with these cheaply made Chinese six guns.

Chinese sixguns???  Well, I have seen ONE recent Chinese 6-shooter, a prototype '58 Remmie but it was not for sale.  China cannot export cartridge firearms to the USA these days other than shotguns.
