Remington Society

Maybe it's just my computer, but I don't see any pictures.

Those could be marks from a very aggressive wire wheel.

In the book "Remington Army and Navy Revolvers" by Donald l. Ware, it says:
#76173 was made in June of 1864
#86570 July 1864
#95597 August 1864
This is a worthwhile book to get if you can find it.
I don't know if it's possible to find out where they were used - other people on this site know a lot ...

It would be interesting to see the cylinder pin and loading lever out of the gun, it would seem as though the pin can't be full diameter the entire length without interfering with the lever. There were earlier versions of this system though.
Is that a brass plate on the bottom of the grips?

Well I guess the xp-100 must be the black sheep of the Remington family. I know the 221 fireball ammo is not exactly a common item on the shelf at Fleet Farm!

It would be good to post this in the ""pre 1899 handgun" section.
The loading lever catch is probably the same as on other new model single actions, so it would be available. I wouldn't think there is a side plate to remove. On a single action revolver all the parts come out through the openings by ...

Your English is just fine too!

I have a 221 fireball xp-100 pistol and was just wondering how much interest there is in these. I don't find many threads about it here.
I don't have any specific questions or comments, just wondering how many people have or shoot them. Mine is very accurate, but only from a rest. Holding it one ...

First post - I have liked Remington guns since I was a kid - I'm 77 now so that's a long time ago.
I have a XP-100 pistol, and two Uberti percussion revolvers, a 44 and a 36. The 44 I bought at the Gold Rush Gun shop in San Francisco in 1967.
I also have an old butchered up rolling block that I ...
