Have any of you heard of this company? I heard they made "high end" guns in the 90s.
I believe they were out of Los Vegas. Any info would be appreciated.

Yes they were in Los Vegas, used to see them at the NMLRA Western Shoot in Phoenix but I think they went out of business.   Smylee

What was the quality of their guns? I have a line on one and would like some
outside input.

I think they copied a Hatfield, which was a rather poor rendition of a Lehigh.   One thing for sure, it wasn't high end................Don

They built several different patterns. Two that I recall were a Lancaster and a Henry English style trade rifle. I seem to remember that they took shortcuts.   The barrel was fastened with screws through the thimbles like a Hatfield and they used a ramrod entry pipe without a tail

A TVM is a much better  value.  Good styling, good components, traditional construction.  Semi-custom.
