About EMF: The cowboy was king in 1956 and Early & Modern Firearms, Inc. (EMF) was founded to supply the demand for the guns seen in the movies and on television. At the time Colt had stopped production of single action revolvers and declined to resume production. EMF became a major distributor, and then manufacturer, of the Great Western , the first reproduction of the famous Colt Model 1873 SAA. When the strong dollar made it too costly to produce the model 1873 in the U.S., EMF turned to Europe as the European gun manufacturers began the replica firearms industry there. During the past 53 years. EMF has traveled the world to bring "The Best In Cowboy Guns" to first, American Cowboys, and then Cowboy Action Shooters. EMF's efforts have culminated in the introduction of the Great Western II, which is an authentic copy of the original 1873 Colt. Our Mission: EMF's mission is to provide quality, authentic, but safe, firearms at the best prices. The keystone of EMF's "Cowboy Way" is to provide friendly, personal customer service and stand behind our products. The amazing growth of the sport of Cowboy Action Shooting has fueled the demand for the guns of the Old West. Boyd A. Davis, CEO/President of EMF is also known as General U.S. Grant. SASS #2. He is a Founding Father and the President of SASS.
