VERY RARE REMINGTON NEW MODEL REVOLVING PERCUSSION RIFLE.

VERY RARE REMINGTON NEW MODEL REVOLVING PERCUSSION RIFLE. SN 18. Cal. 36. Blue & color case hardened with scarce 24″ oct to rnd bbl with knurled transition, German silver bead front sight and a carbine ladder rear sight graduated to 500 yards. It has usual unfluted 6-shot cyl that measures 2-3/16″ long. Frame, rammer handle & hammer are color case hardened. It has a fancy scroll silver plated brass trigger guard with finger rest spur and silver plated brass crescent buttplate with long silver plated brass toeplate. Mounted with very fancy, uncheckered American walnut stock. There is a small “E” inspector initial below the trigger guard tang in the bottom flat of the stock. According to Flayderman’s Guide to Antique American Firearms fewer than 1,000 of these rare rifles were produced in the period 1866-1879 in two calibers. Sales of these rifles were sluggish and a large number of them were converted to cartridge. Finding an orig percussion rifle with high orig finish is extremely rare and color case hardened models are even more rare. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching including cyl, buttstock, buttplate, trigger guard & lower tang, no additional disassembly was effected to search for additional matching parts. Bbl retains 70-75% glossy orig blue with the loss areas flaked, not worn, to a medium patina. Frame, rammer handle & hammer retain virtually all of their orig factory case colors, bright in sheltered areas, moderately faded elsewhere. Cylinder retains 50-60% glossy orig blue with the loss areas flaked, not worn to a medium patina. Chambers of cyl still retain traces of orig blue with grease at the nipple end, possibly unfired. Trigger guard & buttplate both retain about 95% strong orig silver plating, oxidized to black. Stock is sound with a few minor handling & storage light scratches and retains virtually all of its orig varnish with some minor oil staining and a few nicks around the wrist. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-36681 JR151 (12,500-17,500)
