All I can speak to is my own experience. Navy Arms was an importer bought out by Euroarms IIRC. I have seen a Miroku stamped with Navy Arms and still own an M1841stamped with both Navy Arms and Euroarms. What you can be certain of is that it will not be a fly by night India or Paki made stove pipe with a touch hole drilled in after importation. It will have actually been manufactured as a firearm and more likely than not of decent quality.
