Remington New Model Single Shot Cartridge Pistol
Description: An unusual and interesting odd-ball , mystery Remington New Model 1858 with SN 106349, 45 CF, 12 1/4" replacement barrel with an oxidized bore showing evident rifling. This is a very neat custom pistol no doubt modified during the period of use. In lieu of the cylinder there is a rotating block of steel featuring a firing pin in line with the barrel able to be rotated with a little deliberate manipulation to allow cartridge insertion, the barrel itself actually incorporating the chamber. The metal surfaces are a mottled gunmetal gray patina showing some scattered light dings, tool marks and sparsely scattered minor oxidation staining. There is a small brass retainer brazed onto the barrel for the ramrod which is decorated with a light foliate motif, it and the triggerguard toned to an ocher patina, with the trigger guard having a military inspector proof of the letter P. . The period replacement grips remain in good condition as refinished long ago showing some scattered light dings and handling marks. The hammer drops at half cock and is a little sluggish but the action is otherwise functional. A peculiar gunsmith modification for the antique arms collector, actually rather well thought-out, Most likely not safe to shoot as this conversion was for black powdr shells. Frony sight is bras blade on an oval that was soft soldered to the muzzle area.Shipping may be higher than stated as shippers raise their prices twice year without notice! When buying a gun always have it examined by a competent gunsmith before shooting. To buy a gun from me you must get a direct email for me, with details, and shipping cost. We don’t have a web site .I prefer money orders or a check. Item ships when funds come in. If you can only pay with a card let me know. I try to keep guns affordable, which means I make less money than most dealers. You won’t get altitude sickness, or nose bleed, with my prices! I consistently have the best selection of older guns If you attempt to buy, you must still contact us for details . Best to email to buy. Sometimes a local person can stop buy and purchase before the gun is removed. Sometimes not home to get calls. Some guns are required shipment to a gun dealer near you for a transfer to you when it arrives. Otherwise many older or black powder guns ship to your door. With the widest selection of older guns at great prices, We don’t have a store, and sell on the internet only. I’m easy to get along with. Thank You. SOLD Antique: Yes |
