Remington Society

.......................................... 2) Most of the 1865 NMA production went into Ordinance stores and weren’t issued. From there they could have gone any place. Some were later civilian sales, some were converted to cartridge guns, and as you know, many were sent to France, where the finish ...

I've seen many of these copies, and they were generally Mexican Than Belgian. Belgian guns can immediately be identified by the proof mark "ELG" inscribed in an oval and Mexican guns don't have any proof mark.

That is very interesting. It makes I wonder if any of the other Pietta repos have parts that are interchangeable with original?

Pietta repros very rarely have interchangeable parts with originals. Uberti is the one that has many of these.

Thank you Mike for these good news regarding Rem Arms. Alas, living in France, I don't have access to such things as members meetingz or historical seminars. So, as a collector of Remington antique firearms, my only link with people sharing the same interest is this forum and I wish it was a bit mor...

Remington as been one of the most famous gun manufacturer of the United States and has been at the origin of numerous novelties ans inventions. Sadly, the firm no longer exists, but its memory deserves to survive and as a French man, I wonder why the Remington Society is so barely alive ! The new th...

I just acquired a .32 RF Remington Rider Pocket with a 2 inches barrel. It has initially been made for metallic cartridges as it has no capping groove in the shield, so it is a late production specimen. But What surprises me is the low serial number : 1517 (apparently, they were out of number "...

Boy, this gun is in an absolutely beautiful condition !! What's more, it doesn't seem to have been reblued !

I really wonder how a Remington New Model Army manufactured in 1863 and having military inspection marks stayed unfired right in the middle of the civil war...

Sorry, Karu, but I can't pull this pin any further.

Karu, here is the photo you asked for. As you will see, the underside of the pin is flat.

What is your question, Karu ? Is it can a new model loading lever be mounted on an old model barrel ?

Hi Daniel,
Talking about how Remington (and all others at the time) was frugal, I own a Transitional Navy which has everything of the new model except for the barrel, front sight and loading lever which are of the 1861 model.

Hi Karu,
Why bothering putting glasses on to see where is the arbor pin head ? just take a look at the loading lever and you can immediatly see if the gun is a Beal, a 1861 model or a new model.

Karu, I'd have answered if you specified that your question was relating to the Navy and Army models, because the name Elliot makes me think of the Elliot derringer more than the mean of attaching the loading lever of these big guns.

Hello Daniel,

Thank you very much for your infos ! I hesitated buying the Schiff book because of its price, but I think I'm going to order it.

............................................. For Elisha it was a kind of joke.. :D The Similarities between the Beals 3rd Model Pocket and the "C" 1855 Root are evident.. ............................................... Yes Karu there are similarities esthetically speaking, but the system...
