Remington Sons, Ilion, N.Y., based on the Fordyce Beals patent of September 14, 1858 (Patent 21,478).

The Remington Army revolver is large-framed, in.44 caliber, with an 8 inch barrel length.

The Remington Navy revolver is slightly smaller framed than the Army, and in.36 caliber with an 7.375 inch Beals Navy 7.5 inch barrel length.

There were three progressive models made; the Remington-Beals Army Navy (18601862), the 1861 Army Navy (18621863), and the New Model Army Navy (18631875).

The three models are nearly identical in size and appearance.

Subtle but noticeable differences in hammers, loading levers, and cylinders help identify each model.

The 1861 Remington actually transitioned into New Model appearance by late 1862, slowly transforming throughout 1862, due to continual improvement suggestions from the U.

S. Ordnance Department.

Combustible cartridge velocities averaged from 700 to 900 feet per second (270 ms), depending on powder quality, charge and conical bullet weight.

The special powder and minimal charge reduced black powder fouling, allowing revolvers to be fired as much as possible before cleaning was necessary.

Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 921(a)(16) defines antique firearms as all guns made prior to 1899.

This law exempts antique firearms from any form of gun control or special engineering because they are not legally considered firearms.

All rifles and muskets sold by IMA that were manufactured prior to 1899 are considered Antiques by the US BATF (United States Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms).

Therefore, all of IMAs Antique guns may be shipped to all US States and most nations around the world.

Any attempt at restoring an antique gun to be operational is strongly discouraged and is done so at the risk of the customer.

By purchasing an antique gun from IMA you thereby release IMA, its employees and corporate officers from any and all liability associated with use of our Antique guns.
