Do not have one, but you will see the same rifle whether you check Navy Arms, Dixie, IAR, Traditions, EMF, Uberti or whoever.  Uberti (they have a website) is the manufacturer of all available Henry's, 1866's, and 1873's.  All available 1892's (since AWA bought Armi San Marco) will be either Brazilian Rossi's, whether called Legacy Sports, Navy Arms, Taurus, etc. or Japanese Miroku's (Winchester).

I think the question refers to those Single Action Army clones fitted with percussion cylinders. I don't have one myself, but a couple of my friend do. They shoot well enough, but have no advantages over a traditioal c&b revolver and lack a rammer, so loading is problematical.
