Anyone own a Taylor's Arms?

I recently stumbled across this version of a 1892 lever action in a take down version. Given the price, I'm guessing they're fairly rare. Anyone had any experience with this company?

Taylor Arms import Uberti reproduction arms used in Cowboy Action (SASS). I own and use a pair of revolvers. I have never heard any complaints about them. My revolvers are call Smoke Wagans. http://www.taylorsfirearms.com/

I'm not familiar with that brand.  If it is truly a reproduction on an old model, it may be expensive because of the cost to manufacture it to those old standards.

 

I was looking at some reproduction Sharp's rifles and they are in that same price range.

I don't have one, but I remember a pretty thorough review Jeff Quinn (gunblast.com) did on one in .45 Colt a couple of years ago:

I'm familiar with the short 16" takedown .44 magnum version of that 1892 "Alaskan". It's made by Chiappa of Italy but only, I believe, distributed here in the U.S. by Taylor's. Good build quality overall.

As a company Taylor's, to the best of my knowledge, has a good reputation as a standup outfit. Edited November 23, 2015 by Djay3

Sounds good. Now I just have to save / sell off some to get it. Might be a good replacement if I sell my old Winchester 94.
I actually found it through Jeff Quinn at gunblast.com. Love watching his videos on YouTube.

Here's another YouTube demo of the Alaskan.
