BP Pistol 1858 Remington

[loiner1965]

I have one. It had a poor internal finish in the hand slot which needed smoothing out, but it’s been 100% reliable since then. Don’t buy new - I paid like 1/3rd the new price for a boxed, lightly used example.

Remington #10 are by far the best fitting caps for it. Mine will also not ignite reliably with substitutes, but it ignites every shot with black powder.

my pietta 1858 uses remington no 11 caps without issue but use cci no11 then they fall into action and jam up.
dont have any issue using 777 either but some nipples like treso do have very small hole so you may need to enlarge if using subs etc
