Remington - the revolver he owned tzw. enclosed skeleton (a one-piece skeleton surrounded the drum with cartridges), which made it more reliable than its contemporary Colt revolvers, which had an open skeleton. The closed framework also provided greater structural rigidity. Another advantage was the ability to remove the entire drum and put on a new one, already loaded. Cylindrical drum with rectangular cutouts for drum latch. Barrel screwed into the frame. Produced 1863-1875, in two calibers, .36 inch model Navy (for the navy) and .44 inch model Army (for the army). Sit is estimated that about 122,000 units of this model have left the factory.
Construction - frame with closed backbone, trigger guard (bail) and grip fittings made of nickel-plated brass. Octagonal barrel length 8", thread pitch 1-30". Full non-engraved 6-chamber drum. Targeting instruments, dovetail mounted midge.
Covers - grip of natural walnut wood, facilitate a secure grip on the weapon. Oiling enhances the color of the wood, highlights the grain, and preserves the natural appearance. The oil penetrates deep into the wood without clogging the pores, allowing the wood to breathe.
Drain - the mechanism of pulling the trigger tongue allows two positions: half-tight intended for putting caps on the chimneys and tight for firing a shot.
Pobojczyk - lever (punch), located hinged under the barrel of the revolver, designed to press the lead bullets into the barrel chambers. The lever of the sidearm expands toward the rear, so the weapon had a more streamlined shape and did not catch on the edge of the holster.
