079-1222-7846, Remington Old Model Army .44, 6 shot with 1861 patent date and original ramrod configuration. But is has the arsenal screw added to the rammer channel. The Old Model Army’s, have a slot in the loading lever that the cylinder pin could slide out without lowering the lever. This seemed a good idea, but the cylinder would slide on its own and the cylinder then fell out of the gun. So the levers were modified in some examples and a screw added in the channel, so the cylinder pin could no longer slide on its own, but it required the loading lever to be lowered to remove cylinder. The NM Army fixed this, by simply removing the slot.
The gun is handsome with 70% deep barrel blue, the frame shows traces of thin blue with crisp edges, crisp markings. This was not a military contract gun, but has a rack Number stamped on the side of the frame, #48. This was undoubtedly a militia used firearm for the Civil War. Crisp tight action, fine grips, with some later linseed oil added to them. The bore is bright, crisply edged rifling and excellent, a few shallow spots in center of bore, but very crisp edges to rifling, much better than average. Fine to excellent bore. One of the finest OM Army’s I have ever handled.
