I bought an Allen Arms (Uberti) back about 1980-1 it was $350.... Allen & his sons Co. were bought out by Cimarron.
I used the bejesus out of the gun....Both mounted reenacting and shooting.
The only problem I had was a bent magazine spring
my fault.
I hung it up mounting at the 1983 Saylor Creek National Event and it was forced open at the muzzle.
I wore the blue off the gun, and browned it.
The gun is still used at CAS events... though I sold it 15 years ago , same guy still shoots it.
I got another in 99 , it's a keeper
