I have a thread a little ways down asking about the remington I purchased last week
Received it today and am very Happy. It is beautiful. I did have to tighten up the loading gate but that was pretty simple.What really shocked me when I had it partially tore down, is that the loading gate, cylinder, and trigger guard are all stamped with the last 3 digits of the serial number. Even in a font period to the Remington 1875 original production. I was not expecting that at all.
One other thing I am really thrilled about. I want to put a lanyard ring on the butt. I was hoping that the serial number on the butt bottom was offset and sure enough it is. I have only seen one other that had the number offset so a Lanyard could be installed. I of course could not do a lanyard if I would have had to deface the serial number.
Bore is as new. Action is tight. Clicks are as good as any Colt I have ever had. Very positive. Hammer spring is very nice. This one I suspect was imported by EMF in the early 80s maybe. Here is a pic if you did not see the auction link in my other post.
I do not like the Outlaw markings on the barrel. Wish they had left that off. But hey, it is a copy..
Now if I just had some ammo loaded. Soon. Thanks
