Really appreciate this post. I've been looking at .45 LC levers for some time, a bit at revolvers. I want an older production firearm under the impression quality would be better. Never owned an Uberti and an wary because of it not being established like traditional brands though I've never read anything horrible about them, but understand the Taylor/Uberti offerings are said to be better? They look like really nice guns and the style I want.

Are the Uberti/Taylors better than the new Marlin/Remington guns as far as quality, fit and finish?

I'd really appreciate feedback fro owners and those in the know. I want a quality lever, maybe a revolver down the line. But feel like I'm wandering in the dark not knowing what I'm looking at, or if they are a gun that will get passed down. Fit and finish, function? Accuracy? I read so much about how many new revolvers need work out of the box, are these the same?

TIA!!
