This 1858 Remington Belt Model revolver appears to be in unfired condition and has the factory carton. This Pietta of Italy manufactured .36 caliber steel frame revolver will give years of reliable service. The side flats of the barrel bear the maker's name, and Black Powder Only, .36 Cal.. The 6-1/2" 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 with a deep red satin varnish, mounted with a blued steel screw, through brass escutcheons. The traditional 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.

The original blued steel Italian nipples are too small to properly fit American No. 11 percussion caps. We recommend replacing the nipples with our #PIR-LI best 6-. 75mm thread hardened steel nipples, which are designed to accept CCI No. 11 caps. 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 factory recommends our #BALL-375 pure lead .375" round ball, but many shooters prefer the slightly larger #BALL-380-X ..380" hand cast 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.

This percussion revolver appears to be in as-new condition with the factory carton. It is ready for the range. 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.
