I have a winchester replica of the remington-hepburn #3 .38-40 and am having trouble finding any info on it. i have cantacted the winchester historian and he was very rude and unhelpful. The only thing that is stamped on the gun is the manufacture and ".38-40 1 3/4 REM. and the serial #. does anyone have any info for me?

Per the above not likely to be a Winchester made replica. Personally I haven't been aware of any one making replicas of pistol caliber Hepburns. Chances are because of this it's a original Remington, or something made by a very skilled toolmaker/gunsmith as a home project, IMHO.
Show pictures with clear closeups of markings.
Note: The .38-40 Remington-Hepburn was an entirely different cartridge from the .38-40 Winchester & Marlin.
What markings are on the action (not the barrel)?
Edit: Is the barrel marked Winchester?
Here is one company that makes replicas http://www.hepman.com/dzarms/index.html
EDIT either you have a mixed breed parts gun or you have a Wichester Rifle not a Remington Hepburn.This is why Winchester was perceived by you to be rude and not helpful . Sort of like asking a Ford dealer what they know about a Toyota. Pictures posted here would have avoided mistaken identity
