I remember a notice in the back of a Guns & Ammo Magazine (Dec. '94) shortly after the eruption of the Third Series entitled, "Colts In Name Only." Seems the folks at Colt Blackpowder Arms had accidentally photocopied the entire

2nd Generation instruction manual, including the warranty section, and folks were returning broken 3rd Gen. guns back to Colt for repair. Colt had to put out press releases announcing that the Signature Series guns were not thiers, and would not letter from the factory.
