I said it before... the TTn is tank tough, mine is 7-8 years old and no issues....
That said, it was purchased from TTn & Walter Johnson, he then later moved on the EMF and they imported them
as did Cimarron & Taylors.
Yes, it's Chinese and cost about $450 in 04.
There was a short lived Turkish gun from ADCO ...but after several years few were imported and 0 parts.
The Pioneer (Polish) was undermined by the $1300 sticker shock
That leaves the Century ( China ) not awful at under $300
and the Wyatt Earp ( Italy ) but at $950
and I think Bakal (Russian) still offers one ( real hammers )
I'd buy another TTn ( one of the 26" Barrels offerings )
