From just before the American Civil War to just after the turn of the century, America underwent a westward expansion unparalleled in history. Millions migrated with the sun to the new opportunities beyond the wide Missouri. In order to have this happen, the frontier population went armed with the fast-developing firearms of that day. In our time, this movement has been romanticized heavily, including the use of a wide variety of guns. The process has involved a great many so-called “western” motion pictures and TV shows. This, in turn, has created a demand for shooting samples of all of these types of guns. I’m delighted to point out that you can now buy brand-new examples of almost all of the guns that served to conquer the frontier. Made of modern steels and fitted very nicely, these guns come from a variety of factories, most of which are in Italy.
