I only have had one problem with EMF, unfortunately it was the first time I ordered something from them. I ordered an 1862 police revolver that they advertised as the hartford model with silver plated brass backstrap and triggerguard. The gun looked really nice in the catelog but what I received was a long ways from looking like the picture. The color case hardening was a plain dull gray with no mottled colors, the polishing had heavily rounded over areas that were supposed to be flat and as for the silver plating, their wasn't any. The worst problem was more than cosmetic though, the nipples were way too big to fit any normal size cap, I figure a musket cap might have worked ok, but nothing else would. Frankly I've seen some kit guns with better finishes and fewer problems, I'll never mess with EMF again.
