Wildeys are being sold on gunbroker now and these appear newly made. How long ago are you talking about with all the problems??
I don’t know but I’ll check with the guy tomorrow.
He has an early one and a late one both in .45 Winchester Magnum. He said they were both unreliable and troublesome.
He added the .475’s were supposed to be a little more reliable.
He did point out to me that the Wildey isn’t an AutoMag. That’s an entirely different Make and Model.
