who makes revolvers for cva.

 

[George T.]

My 1860 Army is a armi san marco Sp?. It is good quality overall just not polished as well as others. Shoots good though! Geo. T.

My 3rd Model Dragoon has a deep CVA stamp on the right side of the frame and on the barrel under the loading lever it is stamped "ASM" which I believe stands for Armi San Marco, Italy.

ASM, Uberti and Pietta WERE supplying revolvers to CVA in the past. Maybe others but these are the ones I've seen.

Yep -- my CVA Remmie is a Pietta.

so if you buy a cva or traditions and its marked pietta you get the same quality if you bought a pietta original?

 

[Rusty_Nail]

depends. If you are dipping into the sidelock category, then CVA was Spanish made, not sure the manufacturer, and Traditions also is/was Ardesa of Spain.

If it says Pietta, it's a Pietta. That said, I have read comments from others that Pietta at one time had some quality control issues that have largely been eliminated today. I own a Pietta 1858 Remington Army replica from Cabelas and am very happy with it. If it is a CVA Pietta, then it is a few years old as they have have not marketed these guns for a while.

I bought the target model 58 from Cabella's about 25 years ago and it's been a very good gun. MD
