Not sure about that. Howa is a Japanese firearms manufacturer. Legacy Sports International is the importer for Howa in the US. They also were the importer for Lithgow but are no longer. As far as I know Lithgow does not currently have an importer for the US.
Legacy who also imports howa use to carry Lithgow. When Howa released their 22lr they Legacy stopped importing Lithgow which left them looking for an importer.
Davidson purchased what was left of the Lithgows from Legacy.
My Lithgow 101 - At the Range on April 30, 2021
Specs in previous Posts.
Very Windy Today
I didn't shoot today as much as I usual today; felt like I was wasting the ammo because of the windy conditions
Fifty Yards
The target backed (twenty targets plus sighters at bottom) show all targets of the day.
Yes, the target below are the three best of the day; I'm doing my best to test the rifle - not my terrible shooting skills especially reading the wind.
I tried working with Legacy before Christmas to purchase a replacement firing pin.
I was advised that they no longer handled Lithgow.
I contacted Lithgow direct in AUS & reached a Mr. Ewan Williams who related that they were no longer affiliated & were seeking a new distributor.
I was recently advised by Mr Williams that Lithgow had a promising business proposal with another US distributor & was shipping my LA 101 firing pin & I could probably be expecting delivery later this month.
I will post distributor info asap after I find out.

I too had a firing pin issue with my Lithgow 101. This was treated by Lithgow as warranty and they fwd the new pin to my LGS and pretty promptly too.
Im in Australia.:bthumb:
Just want to advise that I took delivery of several firing pins & a magazine forwarded from Lithgow thru Global Ordinance, LLC in Sarasota, Florida. I'm informed that global Ordinance is an ammunition distributor for Lithgow & not a firearms distributor per se.
Lithgow is studying a direct sales marketing plan thru an intermediate distributor. I have no further information.
Like many of you i am ever chasing the smaller groups.
Tomorrow I hope to improve as I have removed the sling swivel from its place on the underside of the stock where it interferes with settling the stock nicely into the bag-rest and I have moved it forward to be secured in the base of the pistol grip where it doesnt interfere with anything.
So tomorrow god willing on the weather we shall see...!
All the best from Oz. (Oztralia)
