Are Navy Arms revolvers rebranded? What about Euroarms? Western Arms?

[Widows Son]

Hello everyone from freezing Queensland Australia. Yesterday it was a high temperature of 15c! (60 Fahrenheit)

Anyway, I’ve come across a Navy Arms 1861 Navy model .36 In excellent condition. The asking price is quite reasonable but I’m curious about the availability of parts and pieces. Also for sale is a Western Arms 1858 Remington .36 in vgc. I suspect these pieces were made in the 80’s. I’m only asking with a mind to their repair and maintenance.

Many thanks

Im certain Val Forgett, the founder of Navy Arms, had a contract with one of the Italian firms to make his firearms. I read an interesting article about him taking an original cap and ball revolver to them to reproduce. If i was awake I could tell you the company, maybe Uberti or Pietta.
So parts should be available here, not sure about freezing Queensland.

Stay warm.

I have a navy arms stainless 1858 that I’ve had for 25 years. It has navy arms stamped on the barrel flat and also has pietta stamped along with the other Italian proofs.

Thanks for your replies. Now that you mentioned it, Pietta does ring a vague distant bell in my memory.

My Navy Arms 1858 Remington and 1851 Colt were made by Uberti.

Modern Uberti parts may not fit a 1980s vintage Uberti. At some point in the early 2000s? I believe they changed over to CNC machining
