I wouldnt suggest anything but the Uberti or Colt reproductions.

Got my Uberti Walker from Dixie Gun Works. Get their hardcopy catalog if you want a real feast for your eyes. Otherwise just go to their web site.

Uberti for a new Walker, 2nd gen Colt for the best Walker. 3rd gens are nice, ASM can be found used. Any of them may/well need work out of the box.

I have a 1847 walker colt Uberti 2nd gneration I would sell,please PM me for additional information.

You actually only have one choice if your are looking for a new Walker. Uberti is the only manufacturer of the 1847 Walker left in the business. New in Box Colt 2nd & 3rd Generation 1847 Walkers are available but are now in the $900+ range. Since the beginning of the Replica Revolver industry the only manufacturers of the 1847 Walker were first Armi San Marco then Uberti. Colt then reintroduced the Walker in their 2nd & 3rd Generation series.

I also have a .44 1847 Walker (Uberti) I will sell. It has the R & D .45LC conversion cylinder and original cylinder, and leather holster/belt. I've only fired about 50 rds through the conversion and never fired BP in the original. Will have to sell the two components seperately. One price...but two shipments to keep it legal.

PM me if serious.
$650 for everything...US Money Order only.

Colt reproductions

how is it the original brand makes repros? wouldn't they be considered new production?

They are not really replicas. The 2nd gen Colt was made and marketed by Colt. They used raw barrel and cylinders supplied by Uberti, other parts made in the USA. The 3rd gens used the same parts arrangement with Uberti, but they were made by Colt Blackpowder Arms Co under license from Colt manufacturing Co. The 2nd gens are considered true Colts, the 3rd gens are still being debated. The are basically the same revolvers with a different appearance, bluing, wood, and in some cases fit and finish.

Mine is still available.Pm me if interestd in whole cowboy set up. Very fair price,excellent condition.less than 100 rounds through it.

Continuation would probably be the correct term. 2nd Gen serial numbers started out where the originals left off; and the Sig Series started somewhere higher than where the 2nd Gens left off.

As far as being true Colts; for the most part, 2nd Gens were finished, assembled, inspected, marketed, sold and warranted by Colt. Colt had nothing to do with the manufacture of the Sig series guns other than granting the license to use Colts name.

Our gunsmith has gone to get recertified from colt--he says that Colt is in the immediate process of producing 4th generation colt c/b revolvers--you know anything about this?

I do believe that Hardy has just provided us with a tip from the inside!

4th Generation Colt BP?????
First I've heard of this.

It would be interesting. I wonder how it effect pricing of 2nd gen and Signiture series? Technically they would become the 3rd generation Colt.

Just think of all the new revolvers you can buy.

Oh Boy

!!!! A whole new area to concentrate on. That'll sure make SWMBO happy

Hardy · February 4, 2010, 07:58 PM

Well, I tried to call our gunsmith today but if I wanted to get real long winded you might get bored; but our shop has very little interest in c/b revolvers so we moved our real estate appraisal biz over there to pay the rent. But the folks that do like them buy the cheapest of the cheapest! This gunsmith came in months ago- he's disabled and can't work but knows guns in and out -especially these. He fixed all broken ones(cheap ones) for customers and they are all pleased with work. He is going to some type of colt seminar that certifies him as a colt gunsmith. He said-Monday that colt is going to produce these again. I asked him if it would affect the values of the 2nd and 3rds And he said no because they are going to be very economical. Now I don't know him that well and whether he's blowing smoke but I feel that if what he says is true then black powder is coming back due to all we already know about scarcity and new gun laws etc. Yes this might affect the value of the 2nd and 3rds maybe lower their values or increase them. And we don't know if they are only going to be offered through dealers. I will find out as much as I can soon but have been bust doing appraisals than researching further what I posted. Maybe contact colt to see if they acknowledge this as true. By the way I think I saw a Walker on gunsinternational(Colt 2nd) for sell at a reasonable price. I do know that these colts are offered at higher prices than last year but do not know what they are selling for. We have plenty in our shop

Even originals

Wobble · February 4, 2010, 10:16 PM

Wouldn't surprise me if Colt got back into the BP market again. The market is as strong or stronger than ever. Uberti has created that market and must be doing very well to have stayed in it for this long. In my opinion, Colt would be missing a big opportunity if they didn't. They would be selling to both shooters, collectors, and speculators. Frankly, I bought my collectible 3rd gen Colts because of the name on the box.
