Navy Arms '60 Army?
Who made them? There is one, in better than good condition sitting in a LGS for $200 obo. Thinking hard about putting an offer on it. Are they good quality? Always heard good things about Navy Arms marked guns in the past, but.......
Also, I could get a Lyman marked 1860 Army for the same price in like new condition, but it's in another state. Is the NA better quality? |

I have an old 1851 Navy from Navy Arms. It was made by Uberti.

Berdan..
I think the older Navy Arms stuff was made by ASP as was that Lyman Remington.
When ASP was building pistols they had about the top reputation. I have an 1860 from ASP in polished steel. It is very good quality. Both of those pistols would be highly desirable IMO. Darned shame you can't make a package deal on the pair. Say... 325.00 for two pistols?

Navy Arms used Uberti. ASM and Pietta. The Lyman is ASP. I'd probably go with the Lyman.

Regarding ASP and Navy Arms....
I stand corrected.
Actually I sit corrected.
