Re: Remington new model 1858.
Hello again Ou812ic, Your Navy Model is a Beals Model, made in July 1862. not a New Model Navy. This serial should be at the end of the Beals Model production and very close to the start of the Model 1861, or Elliot Model. photo of the top barrel marking would help. The unusual markings are stamped ...

Re: Original 1875 factory option question
Hello 9245, There were no sight options for the Model 1875 revolvers. The early revolvers have a "pinched post" sight, and later versions are a half moon, German silver blade sight. The post sight was threaded on the base, and the barrel had a hole drilled and tapped so the sight could be ...

Re: 1868 Remington revolver?
Hi Oran, Yes, there were 5-shot conversions to the 46rf cartridge. The reason was simple, the diameter of the 46rf was too large to use the original cylinder, because the cylinder walls were too thin. To use the 46rf safely the cylinder walls had to be thicker, and to fit into the frame that meant a...

Re: 1868 Remington revolver?
Hi Oran & Patbar, I'm sorry you were confused. I wasn't 100% clear in my post about the conversion. The .46rf conversion for Kittredge was to a 5-shot. Thus a new cylinder had to be used. The .46rf was a shortened .46rf that was used in the Remington, split breech carbine. In 1866 there weren't ...

Re: 1868 Remington revolver?
Hi Oran, That is a New Model Army, made in Dec of 1864, which has been converted. If the hammer doesn't have a firing pin, it was for a rim fire cartridge. Don Ware's book covers this conversion in detail. In 1868-69, Remington converted 4,540 New Model Army revolvers to .46 rim fire, in a deal with...

Re: Remington new model 1858.
Hello Ou812ic, Hello Ou812ic, Your pistol, #4798 is a real mystery. It is a New Model Army, but the serial number is in the range of the 1861, or Elliot Model. It was made in Oct. 1862 and NMA production started in 1863. Remington put the serial number on the left, bottom, grip frame, the underside ...

Re: Remington new model 1858.
Hello Ou812ic, You didn't give us enough info to give you a date. If it is an Army model - 44cal, then it is a Beals Army Model and was made in Oct of 1862. If it is a Navy Model - 36 cal, then it is a Beals Navy Model, and was made in Nov 1861 Are you sure that it is a full size revolver? It might ...

Re: 1863 Remington New Army .44 with grip notches
Hello again, I have to ask, what do you mean when you say, "Silver front dome sight post"? The first front sight was a German silver, cone, like the bottom revolver in the photo of three revolvers. The second front sight was a round steel post with the sides at the top milled to make a min...

Re: Remington 1858 serial and info help
Hi Joinier, Photos are always a huge help in identifying any firearm. Seeing the photos we can help understand the terms that you use, and give the factory designation. Serial 136 497 was made in Feb. of 1865. Most of the last two months' production was put into storage, and never issued. Some were ...

Re: NEED HELP TO ID MY REMINGTON 1858
Hi Greven, Jag använde internet för att ge en svensk översättning, så jag hoppas att den är korrekt. Det är en New Model Army, tillverkad 1863 till 1865. Din pistol tillverkades i oktober 1864. De enskilda bokstäverna som är stämplade på olika delar är myndighets- och underinspektörsmärken, så din p...

Re: Pedersen Device
A local machine shop has made screws for me, and the major problem is that the threads of 1863 weren't a standard dia. and pitch. That shouldn't be a problem for the Pedersen device. If that is the problem that you have, there will be a charge for setting up their equipment and programing their comp...

Re: Request recognized assessment/appraisal for unfired 58 Remington NMA
Hi Chuck, If you tell us what state you live in, someone may know of a person close to you. The gun has a lot of small nicks, and areas of blue wear. The muzzle also show wear signs and slight rounding, and the cylinder has faint turn marks, and wear marks in the notches. Without having the gun in h...

Re: 1858 NMA Conversion
Hello again Jerry, Is it possible that the cylinder is two pieces, joined together? Looking at the photos again, it looks like a very faint line around the cylinder near the back. Also the finish looks slightly different between the front and back of the cylinder. It might be an original percussion ...

Re: 1858 NMA Conversion
Hi Jerry, Sorry, but no. There is nothing like it in Ware's book on the large frame Remington revolvers, the book on Remington conversions, or the book, "Metallic Cartridge Conversions". There are some that are similar, but none are like what you have. I have seen a few conversions with lo...

Re: Remington Rider Pocket revolver
Hi Patbar, Remington didn't do their own plating until about 1870-71. Guns for plating were sent out, but we don't know to what company. There area lot of things that affect the finish, starting with how well the gun was polished, and if the metal was handled with bare hands. Then add the metal comp...
