Mike, it's enthusiastic collectors/presenters such as yourself who make me feel as if I'm attending a masters class on these various firearms. The knowledge I've gained is immeasurable. Thank you.
The tribal officers you showed were from Standing Rock Agency. The one on the left is Red Tomahawk. Who killed Sitting Bull, so Remingtons claim to fame is that.
There is NO BOOK on the Remington M1875, 1888, or 1890. And I think that is intentional, as some collectors do not want us to know and compete. I had to scratch up a few articles written over the last 40 years to put the pieces of this evolution together.
Mike did a GREAT JOB in all 3 parts, but especially in Part Three. There are few things that I could add, like the fact that frames were made of grey cast iron -- and that is why we never see a case hardened frame!
Mike, I too am a Pennsylvanian (Punxsutawney) and a 1954 baby. I enjoy watching and learning from your videos immensely sir. Have recently started a small collection of Uberti 1873 replicas, I have 2 Uberti Cattleman ll, one in 357 mag and one in 9mm, also the 1873 Winchester replica lever action, pistol grip, checkered with 20 inch octagonal barrel in 357 mag. Have been eyeing the 1875 Army outlaw replica so I just wanted to thank you for this timely video.
One of my uncles had a Remington 1875 in 44WCF stamped on the rear left of the barrel. I only saw it once back around 1975. It was in good condition except for a broken half cock notch. My uncle said (Here goes one of those gun stories that you're never sure about) that this was one of a batch bought by Bat Masterson for a protection agency called the West Falls Protection Agency. On one side of the gun it has W.F.P.A. stamped on it and it looked like it was done at the factory. I have not seen the gun since then. I've looked up west Falls in Texas and New York and there's one in New York I think. I wish I could remember more about it. I'll have to ask my cousin about it when I see her again.
Pretty interested in the new Taylor 1875 9mm single action. Hard to justify 38 costs much less 45 costs these days.
Morning coffee and Mike. My favorite time of the day. I own many Uberti revolvers, but my all time fovorite is my .45 LC 1875 nickle plated with charcoal blued accents(screws, etc.). It has wood grips, but deserves better. It is not only a work of art, but shoots dead on @25 yds. with it's original sights. The only flaw it had out of the box was a huge burr on the frame of the firing pin hole which I removed myself. I also have a blued percussion 1858 + coversion cylinder in .45 LC that is also dead on target @25 yds. I love single action revolvers.
I absolutely love your RUclips videos.
I find it amazing that the principal of muzzle loading weapons were around for 300 years and then in a very short time frame firearms went from that to revolving/ repeating weapons.and in the last 120 years all we have done is tweak the concept.
Remington is one of those companies that you wonder how they are not more popular than they are, and at the same time, how they are still in business.
Thank you again. And because of you I'm making a Remington Bulldog.
I’ve always loved the look of that 1890 for some reason. Definitely on my “get” list someday.
I like this format. I hope you will do more videos in this style. Very informative. The info given to compare "original" guns to current replica versions is awesome. You are respectful of the difference but point it out so we as consumers and "gun nerds" can explain it to others even though we may not have the luxury of owning the real deal. Thanks Mike.
You're a firearms treasure, Mike!
Absolutely enjoy the history of these firearms.
I would like to see something on the Remington rolling blocks.
Especially the baby rolling block.
I always enjoy these history lessons. They are a nice compliment to the range time, with all of the old revolvers.
Thank you for the education on the Remingtons !
Thank you for the history lesson. I'm a big Remington revolver fan, and this helped me out a lot. Get better soon, Mike !
Loved the series. Very interesting how these gun evolved. Thanks you for putting it together.
Thank you for your three segments on the Remingtons.
Mike, Thank you very much, Have a blessed week,
Thanks for the class Mike, I wish school would have been this interesting
Funny, but the only thing I remember from middle school, over 40 years ago, was that the price of a Colt Peacemaker was a $20 gold double eagle and the price of both, today, was about the same.
I enjoyed this informative video on this historic revolver as I enjoy reading books and articles the lawmen that carried these, such as the video of the 1875 in 45 colt on The Wyoming State Museum.Your detailed history with bullet design as well as timeline is always fasinating.
Always a fun and most importantly, a knowledgeable journey with you. Thank you Mike.
Very nice presentation, Mr. Mike. I now have some knowledge of these revolvers and will be somewhat able to wade through a gun show and perhaps have some talking points to fall back on. And that is one reason I started watching you. Accurate knowledge is power. Everything else is just gossip.
I had a matched pair of the Uberti 1875 5.5" outlaws. They were in the white engraved with the poly flaur de le grips. I absolutely fell in love with them when they came up for sale. Unfortunately they had a few issues. Someone used them for cowboy mounted and the front site had been filled almost completely off, then they had striped the web screw and epoxied both back on which also got into the base pin. Between myself and a local gunsmith we got them running good for cowboy action, but I found them barrel heavy as you said and moved them on down the line.
Currently I have a pair of the Uberti "Navy" Remington conversion, I'm very happy with them. That is once I had the rebated cylinder machined so you could properly show a safe revolver at a match.
Awesome series of videos Mike thank you for all your hard work. Would love to see a series on smith and Wesson next.
Enjoyed these video's looking at the Remington revolvers for some reason they appeal to me more than Colt's.
Wonderfully researched
Very nice and informative. I heard CCI bought Remington and aren't making percussion caps, just ammo and won't for a couple of years. All the stores here are out. Really irritating for us cap lock shooters.
Again, very informative, a good look at NON-Colt early cartridge revolvers. I'll never look at my 1858 Uberti Remington clones the same again. Thanks for sharing all this info...
Thank you very much Mike for explaining the production history of these Remington revolvers. It would be nice if you would do an historical presentation on the Remington Model 51 and 53 automatic pistols.
Thank you for a very informative video. I look forward to your eventual return to Duelist Den.
Thanks Mike and keep up the good work
Great series, Mike! Thanks!
I own a pair of the 1875 Uberti replicas. They were my primary revolvers for cowboy action shooting to start off. They were replaced by a pair of cheap (about $200 each) Colt replicas by Traditions as my primaries. The Traditions Colts were just smoother overall. But I really learned a lot about single actions off my first Uberti. In particular, I learned I do far better with a big, heavy single action if I shoot one handed. I had that first revolver at the range to try it out. I was trying to shoot it two handed, modern style. And my shooting was absolutely horrible. As I reached the last of the ammo in my box, I just shot it one handed, working the hammer with the thumb of my hand I was holding it in. I fired off those last 5 rounds from the box and looked at the target. The center of the bullseye was gone. 5 shots of .45 Colt could fit under a quarter. And that's how I've always shot a single action since then.
As always Mike, this is great video. I had no idea about the transitional models. I saw one several years ago, but could understand it due to the time frame of the person that used it. Now I get it. I would disagree about Colt "borrowing " the top strap design from Remington. I mean, look at the Root. Colt was making top straps before almost anybody. But that is just my humble opinion. Thanks again.
Fascinating, nice to know about the base pin
Very well done series. I don't have any of the Remington revolvers currently, but now I have a pretty good idea what I'm looking at.
These videos go so well with hand priming revolver cases.😁
i also love the format of these videos.more please
Excellent presentation, as usual.
Confusion to the enemy! Both your township and you-tube.
Thanks for the lesson, Professor Mike! If I had to guess, in my ignorance, I would say that the web, or sail, under the barrel would be there so that the guns had the same silhouette as the cap ‘n ball revolver, and people wouldn’t have to buy a new holster to fit.
Thank you Mike!
I like the New model army conversion the best, the 75 and 90 grip look weird although I have never held one. Conversions are my favorite whether they're Colt or Remington. Thanks for this series it was very interesting.
I did notice a difference between the original and the Uberti on the cylinder. On the original the raised spot between the cylinder grooves were more squared-off and The Originals were more rounded off. Just a very slight difference in appearance. Great video love the history I'm glad I found you again and I'm sure that I explain that in a different comment. Hope things go well for you my friend. Stay safe in your travels and stay vigilant!
Great video, I feel more informed about these old guns and knowing what I’m looking at.
This is a great series. I have a pair of reproduction 1875 Remington Revolvers and it is nice to know what the differences are between them and the originals.
I GREATLY appreciate your information-packed historical videos. I place both you and "CapnBall" as tied at the top of the list in FIRST place in historical firearms videos. Both of you have such an easy, down-to-earth way that resonates with viewers, even though the viewer is absorbing tons of information. A superb teacher is one who makes learning so fun that the student forgets they are in class! And THAT is exactly why you and "CapnBall" are tied at first place on my list as the best. Best wishes and DON'T ever stop doing what you are doing now.
Love this series.
Freaking love this channel👍 As a detail oriented guy, I can very much appreciate all the attention to said details. Great series.
Always a pleasure to enjoy a cup of fresh coffee, and watch your videos. Thanks again and God bless ya.
Thank You, I learned a lot about these early revolvers.
The 1875 Remington was mechanically superior to the 1873 Colt . The one piece frame compared to the three piece of the Colt . And the grip frame was larger and more comfortable when firing large caliber rounds , bottom line it was better but due poor marketing it always remained in the shadow of Colt .
Thursday is 'Great Gun Video Day' with Mike. I do like these videos, especially your comments on the reproduction. I have a Uberti SAA and enjoy it greatly. In fact it is always the most shot gun when out with friends. I my have to get a Outlaw so we can compare them and try to relive a little of the old west.
Another great history lesson.
It's always a pleasure to listen to you!
Some of the most interesting and detailed videos in the firearms field. Thanks Mike!
An awesome video, I’m a Remington fan.
Hello Mike like I stated on the other site I'd make a quick comment and like I've always said and still say I learned a lot thank you Joe security
thank you Mike
Another great vid, I personally love the Remingtons, my hand just doesn't fit a Colt but the Remington feels natural.
Thank you very much. 👍👍👍👍
Awesome video. You do an amazing job
Great episode Mike, i now feel informed enough to go shopping for one of these if i get the opportunity.
as always a video worth watching. thank you.
Hi Mike. First of all, thank you for making me a cap and ball enthusiast. I've been trying to gather as much information as possible on the Remington Rider New Model Belt double action revolver (I'm not sure on the official name as it may seem), yet, my findings are scarce. Most of my knowledge comes from your videos and I'd appreciate if you share wether you're planning to upload more detailed content on it (principally the double action mechanism part). Thank you in advance if you have the chance to read and reply. Finally, thank you for educating and creating a whole community. With much respect, Charlie.
Thanks Mike, that was really interesting. I guess Remington would have long since gone out of business, but for all those Rolling Block rifles.
Thank you for your time and effort. Your videos are very entertaining and informative. I really enjoy your content. I would like to see an updated video of your 1872 Colt Open-top revolvers in .44 Special. I am considering buying one online.
Another great, informative presentation, Mike. Thanks again.
Great videos. I just learned of your channel a month or so ago. You're a great historian and teacher. Your disassembly and cleaning vids are very helpful 👍
Another great series. Thank you. 👍🤠🇺🇲
The series was a fine piece of work, I have seen the reproductions for years but knew nothing about the originals or the development of the different models. I have a 36 cal Pietta I hope to use with my short Colt brass and a Lyman heeled bullet. I just need to order the conversion cylinder.
Mike, I absolutely love your videos. Thanks so much for educating us.
Love the video. Thanks for the info.
