Remington Large-Bore Conversion Revolvers by Roger Phillips




The large-bore New Model Army conversions produced by E. Remington & Sons starting later in 1868 are historically significant because they were the first big caliber metallic cartridge revolvers to be made and marketed in the United States in sufficient numbers to have a real impact.
