Early ASM guns (SAA's and percussion) were very good.  The way I heard it, the factory moved from the Italian valley where all the manufacturers are.  A lot of the workers, long-time gun builders, did not want to move, so ASM had to hire new people.  That's when they started making the conversions and Schofields, and later became Chaparral.

That buyback seems like yesterday but it was 1997 - had the Dakota a couple years before they took it - plus a year in transit - made 1994? maybe earlier .. the capgun is way older - I would guess 1970's make

Uberti barrel 1876 rifle five @ 100yards -- I was told these rifles have Pedersoli barrels - mine can shoot like it (on the rare occasion I can eliminate the driver error)


What caliber?

45/75 - made cases from winchester 348 brass - its a 20 twist barrel so will shoot most anything (boolit weight wise)
