Re: Any excavated civil war remingtons out there?

Finding relics is like any other hobby, buy or build: hunt or gather. I am a buying gatherer. Go to gunshows, watch the net, get the word out to locals you are looking. I bought a Bisley once at a farm sale for $5. Had a fellow bring me a Lightning he found sticking out of a river bank. Had a friend...

Re: What's the most affordable pre-1898 Remington pistol?

Two barrel derringer.

Just a curious question to members. I have one of the transition first model Remington two barrel derringers with extractor and side rib markings. Is anyone tracking or logging this variation?
