This nice 1858 Remington New Model Army revolver in .36 Navy caliber is finished to a deep blue with polished brass triggerguard. The revolver is offered as new in the factory box with the paperwork. The walnut grips have a medium gloss varnish. This .36 caliber steel frame revolver will give years of reliable service. It was manufactured by Aldo Uberti & Co. of Italy.
The barrel is unmarked on visible surfaces, except for the bottom flat, which is Cal .36 Black Powder Only - A. Uberti Italy . The 7-3/8" octagon barrel is fitted with a dovetailed post blade front sight. The notch in the center of the frame serves as the rear sight. The walnut grips are factory finished with a deep red satin varnish, mounted with a blued steel screw, through brass escutcheons. The brass triggerguard is polished bright. The Remington trigger is wide and comfortable. The rigid steel frame of the 1858 Remington made it highly prized by its users. More officers carried Colt revolvers during our Civil War. When the war ended, more Remington's were purchased by discharged officers.
The blued 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. The cylinder is fitted with the original blued steel Italian nipples. We recommend replacing the nipples with our #PTC-PI 12-28 thread hardened steel nipples which are designed to accept CCI standard No. 11 caps.
The factory recommends a .375" diameter round ball. We recommend our .380" diameter round ball #BALL-380-X for best compression. You may need to slightly chamfer the 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.
This percussion revolver is offered in unfired condition, with the factory box and paperwork. The bore is bright, clean, and ready to shoot. Order it for a ten day visual inspection. You will be delighted. Else if it does not fit you, return it in unfired condition for same-day refund. Postage is your only risk, when you order any one-of-a-kind gun from Track, whether new, used, or antique
