Where’s Mike on 12/8?
Thanks so much for this video Mike! Great to learn more about early Remington firearms.
One esoteric question: which rolling block kicks more, the 50-70 or 43 Spanish?
I’m pretty sure you didn’t do this but there was a reply on my comment and it said to go to duelist and claim a prize I’m pretty sure you didn’t do this but I really wish you would reply on this comment with an answer of yes or no which I feel sure it’s no and if it is no then I’ll report it but these things need to be reported it’s happening to a lot of people. Thank you
Nice,Your fault now I have my own 43 Spanish:)Love the Rolling blocks.
What an awesome collection. Thanks for sharing Mike!
Thanks for the interesting video Mike. I hope you and your family had a nice Thanksgiving Holiday.
You know when you have spoken of facing down Evil Roy on the Range I always thought that he was
mythical or a pigment of your imagination. This week I found out Evil Roy really is a real person.
As a baby Evil Roy was the sole survivor on a wagon train of settlers going west. A group of friendly
Native Americans found baby Evil Roy alone on the plains. In many cases they would adopt a baby foundling
like this into the tribe and raise him as one of their own. They took a close look at Roy and decided he
was the most evil Baby they had ever seen and left him where they found him.
The ancient city of Rome was founded by two brothers, Romulus and Remus. They were abandoned as babies
and only survived because they were suckled by a she wolf. A she wolf did come across Evil Baby Roy. She gave him one sniff and decided he smelled so evil she took off running into the night.
Mike there is a Documentary film based on the life of " Evil Roy Slade ".
You can find it here on YouTube.
( I know figment is spelled with an F )
Hi Mike, great video, I love the double action New Army, and I think you’re right, it was far better then the double action Colt design.
The Remington rolling block rifle was used by both sides in the Franco-Prussian war of 1870 and 1871
Perfeito. 🇧🇷
Thanks you Mike. Another interesting video.
Great collection and video. Thanks for sharing with us. Please dont desparage the replicas, thats all most of us can afford. Rising prices of all older firearms
Great video. Loved every minute of it👍😀 The Remington Model 1890 New Model Army looks amazing. Thank you for sharing.
My Uberti 1890 in 45 Colt with a polygon barrel is my absolutely favorite and will not trade it for a ton of gold!
I just bought the Uberti 1858 cartridge conversion in 45lc, a nickel 8". So excited, can’t wait for it to get here in 2 days. So glad to hear it is a pretty accurate copy. 😻😻
Great video! That 1890 pistole with a different grip it seems to be made for large hands compared to the Colt?
Can’t afford any originals m’self, but I sure do love my Lli Pietta-made Remington with the .45LC conversion cylinder (from Brownells, dunno if they still have it.) Hey, great shirt, Mike!
mike i found this video of a near mint DA belt pistol , reading thru comments it wasnt actually his and its been sold on ,if you could track it and convince the new owner to do a schematic of internal parts or even pics of the parts on grid paper maybe you could sort your parts out, cheers big ears from down under ,,,,https://youtu.be/yKjcAu013uk
Very enjoyable! Thanks again
Mike, I cant find the video now, tell me the title if you remember, but in it you said the Brownells screw bits needed for working on an 1858 are 180-3, 300-1, and 240-2, is this correct? Brownells doesnt have a 300-1 so i remembered something wrong.
I’m hoping the weather has not got you down. Mike.
Mike.. Watching your videos is like sitting, and talking to an old friend.. And i always learn something. Thanks for what you do.
A retired tool maker might make parts. Certainly could. A lot of time so a lot of money.
Very nice collection 👍
Another thing I have always wondered about is that you never heard or talked about is how they washed and how they took care of their weapons on the plains and out west, maybe you could share your knowledge about that aspect on gun care in the "old" times 🇳🇴🇺🇸😁
Thanks Mike. I finally got time to watch another great video. I always wanted to ask someone who had fired both a 1st generation SAA and a 1890 Remington how they compared and you answered the question.
That was a fantastic and informative video. Well done, as always.
My uncle gave me a USN Springfield 1870 rolling block rifle a few years back. He had no idea what it was. After researching it, I told him that it was a .50-70 rifle sold as part of a 10,000 order placed by the US Navy. “Well how did *that* end up in my father’s family?” My grandfather was born in Colorado Springs in the early 1980s. I told Uncle Bill “It would’ve been a perfect Buffalo gun.” It does not have that nice safety feature you describe in the 1871 model.
I have to add that the design of the rolling block is simple and extremely robust. The way the breech locks up is just elegant IMHO.
I’m colt guy to but Im looking forward to my new model army coming in.
I still think Remington was the better of the gunsmiths. They were thee barrels of the 1800’s. Everyone else took awhile to catch up. They had the forging experience, the methods, etc. Colt was a business man, he peddled a ton of other dead end products. He was slinging all kinds of ideas for a buck. The Walker Colt is an impressive but really limited design. It is a hodge podge, with lots of clunk, say nothing of gun harmonics which pulls the assemblies apart upon firing. The full frame 44 Remington Army style frame lasted 20 years into the cartridge era. Good on horse, on foot, any situation. Its handy and versatile. Too bad the DA Belt 36 stopped working. I would love to see that thing in action.
Great collection. I really love Remmies. Super classy.
Thank you for sharing your collection and your knowledge.
The Remington New Model Amry is my favorite Cap and Ball Revolver. In my Graphic Novel Samuel Bastard, the hero uses one to defend himself against evil Texas Rangers and others.
You are just incredibly talented, there are 3 channel for me and that is nr 1 Duelist1954 and nr 2 Anvil then nr 3 Ian
Thank you Mike, another great video. Keep ’em coming.
Good evening from Syracuse NY brother thank you for sharing this video and information
5:21 I betcha Mark Novak could fix it!
I wish company like Uberti would reverse engineer double action belt model.
Mike
Your videos are the best info. Thanks.
Thank You Sir! Your collection is Very well representing of this History and maker! that’s Years of work and some Luck!
I swear North American Arms modeled there mini 22 LR and 22 Mag 5 shot revolvers off the Remington New Model No 4. I have a NAA
black widow has a 2.5 "barrel, 22 mag, have to remove the cylinder to push out the spent cases just like the Remington put the mini mag grips on
my black widow ( it comes with larger grips ) and it’s just like the Remington #4
Thanks again Mike! Baltimore Billy saying Merry Christmas from sunny Florida!
I am from upstate NY. Been to the Remington plant in Llion. They have a great museum there. I never knew about a plant in Utica that you mentioned what happened to that plant? Hopefully it will be covered in your next video. If not can you do more on that plant. Thank you.
Hi Mike .Thanks for showing us your super fine Remingtons👌🏻🇩🇰🎄🇺🇸
I guess I got some new collection ideas…..thanks Mike……sorry honey
Would be much obliged if you could help me out with a problem I’ve got. I purchased an Armi San Marco 3rd model Dragoon made in the 1960’s. It is in near perfect shape, but when I took it apart the mainspring snapped. This is an unbelievably rare gun in terms of its appearance. I kid you not when I say that I’ve never seen another cap and ball revolver like it in all this time. I have ordered a Uberti Dragoon spring as well as a reproduction of the Colt 3rd model dragoon mainspring, but I’m a aware that you own some Armi San Marco guns. I tried reaching out to Lodgewood LTD, but he told me he doesn’t work on reproductions, only Colts. So I thought I’d reach out to you for some guidance.
Hello Mike, Just to let you know that you have been hacked. Someone contacted me pretending to be you through this channel and Telegram.
Remington bit the bullet n paid the patent, to S&W. Great video. Great line. Pistol in .38 Long Colt. Cool
Mike, you can make new parts with a 3d printer
Fine collection sir. 👍❤🙏
Thank you for sharing.
