I fail to see the importance of who actually manufactures a product as long as the product is made to specs.

I have 2 1892 Winchesters, neither made by Winchester. Both are stainless steel (my favorite stuff). One is a 20 inch rifle in 454 Casul (Puma) distributed by Legacy Sports. The second is also stainless steel, a carbine in 45 Colt (Rossi).

Even though they aren't actual Winchesters, I'm tickeled pink with them, and you all immediately knew what they were. Same as a clone 1911. I paid $250.00 for the carbine, and you can't buy a stainless steel Winchester.

Modern materials and manufacturing methods are making classic guns even better. Mike the throats of several original Peacemakers and then check one of the better replicas. Guess which is better and more accurate?

I love the old originals as well, but I shoot the newer ones and drag them around with me.
