Cabela's repros are made in Italy by Pietta,I have a 1851 Navy Colt which I added a conversion cylinder to shoot 38 long Colt cart.You need the steel frame to do this.I find mine quite reliable.
: I've been wanting to get into the cap n' ball
: world for a while and finally decided on a
: Rem. 1858. Then the fall Cabela's catalogue
: came out and I thought, "Wow what a
: deal." Unfortunately the catalogue does
: not mention a manufacturer and I have been
: told that the best reproduction is the
: Uberti. Does anyone know Cabela's
: manufacturer? (Flipietta maybe?)How does
: their model compare to the Uberti? Any
: information would be appreciated.
