1858 Remington Cap & Ball

Dirty fun with a Civil War era cap & ball revolver replica, a Navy Arms Model 1858 Remington. They are messy and unpredictable at times, but what a piece of history!

@Mr2ndAmendment,

P.S. brother,

I use black grease on the threads of the nipples also. Just another precautionary measure to insure no accidents happen. It also makes it easier to remove the nipples for cleaning.

if he can hit the gong with that thing, he needs scientific tests done on him..

there used to be a local shop that had origionals hanging on the wall, the owner collected them. real colt SAAs, old army and navy revolvers, some w/ the later cartridge modification some not. they were gorgeous

Pyrodex is your friend, man. Plenty of smoke, but not so much fouling.

I wasn't surprised that he could hit the 80 yard gong. Back when the basic infantry weapon was a muzzle-loading "rifled musket", the revolver was the only repeater widely available. So it wasn't just the close-range defensive weapon the sidearm later became. My 1858 shoots point-of-aim at 40 paces.

@ededdneddyrkings I take using paper cartridges for granted when I shoot my colt navy.

If you know what you are doing...bp revolvers aren't as slow as you think they are to load. BUT it helps if you use paper cartridges like everyone else did when those revovlers were new. ;^) My navy arms 1851 Colt navy is more accurate than the remingtons I've seen.
