Remington Dubbel Action

Qball · January 03, 2006, 04:31:31 PM

How 'bout this boys and girls?
Two thirds of the Swedish collection of Remington DA revolvers

The caliber seems to be some sort of .38 rimfire on one of them.
Any sugestion on what the caliber might be called?
Unfortunatly they are not mine, but belong to a dear friend near by.
Any information and history would be nice.

Doesn't any one know anything interesting about Dubbel action Remington's

Marshal Will Wingam · January 12, 2006, 09:29:05 PM

Evidently a few of them were made with full-fluted cylinders. I really think they look great, either way.

I'm half guessin onthis .38 Rimfire cart, but .38Russian?

.38 Rimfire or .38-100 are what the Calibre designations are.
I'll attempt to dig out my books soon & get you the stats on the Remington/Ryder Belt Model D/A

One thing I know. They started out as .36 percussion models.

Marshal Will Wingam · February 15, 2006, 06:40:59 PM

That's a great photo, ST. Nice piece.

Qball · February 16, 2006, 02:14:31 AM

Good lookin' gun you got there ST.
If you ever decide to take it apart would it be posible to take some pictures of the
moving parts for my friend to replicate?

Scattered Thumbs · February 16, 2006, 02:54:52 AM

I'm sorry if I gave a wrong impression.

Unfortunately I don't own that piece, I only have a good picture of it.

That's OK, it's more than I have of it. Thanks for posting the pic. I love the long flutes on the cylinder. I think Qball is on the right track about replicating one. I'd love to have a working version of one myself.

Im in no hurry because the owner of the guns is restoring a house and is kind of busy

Thank you for the answer Willyboy and Marshal.
