1858 Frames Steel question

Post by dingus »

I have just bought a Antique 1858 Remington New Army model 44 cal. :D

A freind, was telling me these guns were made with poor quality steel compared to the 1860 Colts Ect.

Now my thinking that a Solid frame Remington 1858 would be Much stronger than and open top Colt.

Was there any Recorded problem of the Steel Remington used.
I was under the Impresion that next to the Rogers and Spencer the Remingtons were next in strength.

Not sure what year it was made yet.
Thanks for any help with this Question!
