You CAN get an American-made 1885, lowall or hiwall. C. Sharps in Montana makes beautiful ones. You will pay for the "American option," but IMO everybody should have one of them (Actually you should one of EACH of the guns mentioned here--C.Sharps lowall, Miroku lowall, and Ruger 1A! Mine are a .44-40 C. Sharps, a .243 Miroku, and a .243 Ruger.).
