I was looking for any info on replica arms I have a chance to pick up a 45cal with double set triggers full length stock and a bag of goods for 150.00 Gun is in nice shape no rust bore looks good as far as I can see. Any info would be very helpful and appreicated. Thanks for your time :)
 
Welcome to the Forum, :wink:

Replica Arms was an just an importer in the 60's that was bought out by Navy Arms in the 70's. Navy Arms is still going.
They imported from several companies from Belgium, Italy and Spain. The rifle your looking at is most likely Italian or Spanish made,

At $150 and a clean bore it's a decent price. If you have a chance to handle it you can look for barrel proof marks to determine origin, http://www.muzzleloadingforum.com/fusionbb/showtopic.php?tid/236956/

Thank you I will take a look at the proof marks and let you know I found one that sold on auction arms for approx 180 the one i looked at seems to have a alloy reciver
 
Replica Arms was on a par with Navy Arms and was not known for importing junk, that is to say their line was as good quality as anyone's at the time. An alloy receiver? Are you looking at some type of boxlock design? The only copies of the Wesson rifle I have ever seen were steel and came along after Replica Arms (possibly Palmetto).
