World Class 1858 & Walker!

[K.A.T.]

Why didn't someone tell me about these guns? I found a walker listed as a World Class and started asking Questions about it from the seller.It is made by Uberti,comes in a blued model and they told me they have one in stainless also.There is also a 1858 New Army model in stainless.These guns are engraved, they really look nice. Check them out at gunanddiveshop.com.Click on the World Class logo,it will give you a list of World Class guns to look at. I found a dealer today that had the 1858 in stainless at a lot lower price, I am a Colt man, but I had to have it, its on the way! He said he had a Walker but sold it two days ago. This 1858 will be on a diet of Goex, lead and olive oil shortly.

I found Jays Guns, in Florida, he had a 1858 listed on Guns America.

I've never seen the Walker before. Nice. Obviously the fit and finish of these is better than the standard Ubertis, but I was wondering if they work any more reliably, if they had more hand-fitting, better steel, etc. Does anyone know?

Guns America is slow to remove items that has been sold, there is a 1851 still listed that sold at the first of the week. I don't know if it is on their end or the sellers end. I bought a 1860 that stayed listed a while after the sale. The Gun and Dive shop told me in an E-mail about having a Walker and said they had a stainless one also,but I'm thinking they were talking about a 1858 ss. I first thought they meant a ss Walker. They have a 1858 and a Walker listed on G.A.

It came today!

Picked up the World Class Remmie today, man it is nice!The fit and finish is excellent, the Inside pieces really were nice.I did stone the action a little bit,it really didn't need it,but I had to make it mine.The trigger is real smooth,the action is perfect.The engraving looks to be hand cut,it is sharp and crisp.The cylinder is out and in real easy.It really has a solid feel to it.BUT,there is allways a couple of things.The barrel of this gun is not engraved like the pictures I saw on line.The nipples are blue and not stainless.I think this gun is 2 or 3 years old by looking at the box,it has a little wear on it.The gun is new and unfired,but it has a few small places on it ,probally from being handled around the gun shop.It was full of factory grease,but it is cleaned and ready to go now.It really has a strong main spring,it would kill a mule if it hit him in the head.It is a beautiful gun,just enought engraving to be eye cathing without over doing it.I don't think anyone would be disappointed with one of these.I will be back with a report from the range shortly.
