What Mike said!
Don't forget boys, the first Walkers weren't made at Colt's factory but at Eli Whitney's!

it is as authentic as any they've ever produced. It may be dimensionally different in some places, but so are the 1st 2nd and 3rd Gen Camaros!!! From what I understand, Colt will in fact letter the second generation guns.
It sure is tough to get some people to acknowledge this Fact.I agree Mike, They are Colts because Colt WILL letter all of the Second Generation Colt black powder revolvers.
Sure you aren't a lawyer?I started this thread simply to say "howdy" to everyone... and let you folks know that I purchased an 'AUTHENTIC' 2'd gen Colt Walker. I had no Idea that my thread would become de-railed in this manner, but "Hey!" I guess it keeps things interesting and fun. Good luck with all of the 'hair-splitting'. I'm personally moving on to other subjects.
Enjoy...

Wanted to thank you for the links to the Rock Island Auction website.
WestTex said: swathdiver... I think I like your 2fg recommendation! Never before thought of actually using the laws of diminishing returns to my favor! Do your ASM's also shoot an unusually large flame out of the muzzle, leading the heavy plume of smoke? Have you tried 60 grains of 2fg? Are the Walker cylinder chambers long enough for a 60 grain 2fg load?
This is getting out of hand. We hear all the time, "buy a Colt, everything else is just a copy". By your strange logic, 2nd and 3rd generation SAA's are not "the real deal". Please.I got to agree with OF on the term “authentic", that's reserved for the real deal. Nothing wrong with a 2nd Gen Colt Walker or a 3rd Gen Colt Walker.
If Colt outsourced parts (as they have pretty much always done) and produced a Colt with them, it is as authentic as any they've ever produced. It may be dimensionally different in some places, but so are the 1st 2nd and 3rd Gen Camaros!!! From what I understand, Colt will in fact letter the second generation guns. So, they may be "different" in some ways, but they are authentic Colts.
The latest gen. "Colts" were "Colts" because of name licensing and I don't think Colt letters these.
I hope that I'm not going to be braced with the same sort of nonsense here with my new interest in shooting black powder revolvers.
