This nice 1858 Remington New Model Army revolver is used with a few marks on the bright stainless steel finish. The walnut grips are stained and finished to a golden brown tone. This .44 caliber stainless steel frame revolver will give years of reliable service. The famous manufacturer is Pietta of Italy. The side flats of the barrel bear the maker's name, and Black Powder Only, .44 Cal.. The 8" octagon barrel is fitted with a post blade front sight. The notch in the center of the frame serves as the rear sight. The walnut grips are factory finished satin varnish, mounted with a stainless steel screw, through brass escutcheons. The traditional brass triggerguard has aged to a mellow patina. The Remington trigger is wide and comfortable. The rigid steel frame of the 1858 Remington made it highly prized by its users. This revolver includes one extra cylinder and both cylinders are fitted with Slix shot nipples. The arbor pin on the revolver has been altered from the factory issue and has lubricant grooves cut into it. It also includes an extra unaltered arbor pin (not pictured) in the factory box.

The factory recommends our #BALL-451 pure lead .451" round ball, but we strongly prefer the slightly larger #BALL-454 Hornady .454" round ball, which provides better compression, noticeably more power, and best accuracy. However, an oversize ball tends to shear lead at each chamber mouth, changing the size and bullet weight, a problem. This revolver has slightly chamfered chamber mouths. If your revolver shaves lead, slightly polish each chamber mouth with fine emery and a marble, until the ball seats fully, compressing the lead instead of shearing it. The factory nipples have been replaced with Slix Shot brand nipples. The cylinder has the Remington safety notches cut between each nipple recess. Pull the hammer to half-cock, turn the cylinder to align the safety notch with the hammer nose, and set the hammer into the notch. You can safely carry this revolver with all six chambers loaded, if you rest the hammer in a safety notch.
