 :D some recent additions.....got lucky and found a shootable 1875 44 WCF for less than a used Uberti! Covers the progression of the Remington, though the thin plate conversion is a contemporary Pietta, the others are the real deal.

These are all originals, 1861, New Model Army (1858) and the 1875.

 Cool! How did you manage to get the deal on the '75? Refinished?

Cheyenne Logan

Yes it was refinished, and the grips have a shiney varnish.....I plan to redo the grips......shop it came from thought it was a 44 Remington, got it home, found it was a 44-40! so ammo isn't a problem.........for 400 and tax it's a bargain, and it is a "real" Remington! ;D

 ;D Thanks!    Have shot the '61, no finish and a really nice bore.....drills targets, great shooter!  The Flat Plate converted Pietta, won on GunBroker with a bid I was sure wouldn't hold, is almost boring to shoot, puts them in a ragged hole at 15 yds!  ;)

These, combined with 4 Uberti '58's, another Pietta (with the 'Preacher' conversion) round out the Remingtons.....son also has one of the newer Uberti '58 conversions.....got a few......need to get all of them together for a family photo......then add in the 1851's, the 1860's, and the 1873's..........oh yeah and a Uberti Frontier NM#3.... ::)

Aside from shooting them, collecting, researching and preserving any provenance is what appeals to me...
Those Remy's are very cool.
when planets align...do the deal !
