Pistol Pete Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 If any of you black powder shooters are interested, I have a 44 cal new army model revolver, made in Italy, that I am willing to trade for a working flintlock pistol, preferably 50 cal.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Is that a '58 Remington "New Army" model? I don't remember Colt making a "New Army" but I've been out of the ACW stuff awhile and could be wrong. I've had several of both over the years and I prefer the Remingtons over the Colts due to the complete frame vs. the open-top of the Colts. Just curious.

peglegstrick Posted March 15, 2011 Share Posted March 15, 2011 (edited) The new Army was a Remington pistol - .44 cal - with a top strap ( the frame & barrel is together opposed to the Colts frame which has a breakdown wedge to connect the frame & barrel and is open on the top, no pice of metal over the cylinder). Used to do the Civil War stuf for years. Hope this helps remington 1858 new army picture below http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/45/New_model_Army_IMG_3544.jpg/300px-New_model_Army_IMG_3544.jpg Edited March 15, 2011 by peglegstrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
