Description:
RARE Iron Frame REMINGTON-BEALS Breech Load RIFLE
FEWER Than 800 MADE
Here we present a rare antique Remington-Beals Rifle, made circa 1866 in Ilion, New York. Fordyce Beals invented this single shot, breech-loading rifle that would bear his name. The breech of this rifle is opened by lowering the under-lever, which slides the barrel forward, not unlike the Gallager and Maynard Carbines of the American Civil War. Two chamberings of this rifle were made between 1866 and 1872 in 32 Long rimfire and 38 Long rimfire. Both iron (early production) and brass-framed receivers were made. There were fewer than 800 of these made during their seven year production run. Annie Oakley, who performed in Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show and arguably America’s greatest sharpshooter, shot a Remington Beals rifle when she performed!
The overall condition is very good. The blued finish on the iron is about 20% and has turned dark with age. The barrel appears never to have been marked. The number “38” appears on the lever assembly. The walnut stock is smooth and solid. The bore is in good shape with strong rifling. The trigger return spring is in need of repair, but the rifle is otherwise functional. Here is a true scarcity by Remington and the choice of one of the world’s most renowned trick shooters!
