Uberti have been making them for a long time. (Navy arms? They dont actually manufacture anything, I thought they were an American importer)
I didn't know that Winchester were doing the 1873 again. That IS news. (Well, you know what I mean, the current owners of the Winchester name...)
A thought - are they actually made by Winchester/Browning or are they rebranded Uberti's?
From what I read last evening, Winchester is actually making them again. Navy arms is taking guns from Winchester and "upgrading" them with custom features, per the article.
Found this on the web so it appears to be legit..
