Well since he was asking about Remington replicas I suspect he’ll be happy with the Uberti cylinder pins, which are all of adequate length.

Nice grips.
I like both of my Uberti 1858 Remingtons. If money were not an issue I would try to find the Pedersoli Target Shooter 1858. Over 1,000 clams if you can find one.
Those pieces have progressive rifling like the originals. Receivers are forged not cast. Barrels are made in Germany by Hege IIRC. They are hand fit and tuned. Beautiful and accurate right out of the box!
Here is a picture of my Uberti Remingtons.

Pieta Target Shooter 1858.
The Pedersoli is same basically. I believe Uberti for frame, and parts and the Germans for the barrel. Hand fitted and tuned as well.
These are generally produced with HEGE-tools on CNC machines. For HEGE, they are machined at Beretta-Uberti. That system is a HEGE-Uberti, with the frame not casted but forged, and the barrel, grip frame and cylinder have the importer Neumann “N”, Pietta's importer in Germany. These are especially produced according the wishes of HEGE, Uberti, Pietta and Pedersoli.
The German Lothar-Walther-barrel has .oo8" deep rifling in 5 lands and grooves with progressive rifling. Those with both German and Italian proof marks are tested in both countries after full assembly and/or repair. Those assembled in Italy typically have only Italian proof marks. And those with the "repair" proof and regular proofs were repaired in the country that the repair took place in. Every item has passed the proof house test according to CIP regulations.

Jim, he was enquiring after Remingtons, which have cylinder pins of adequate length. I couldn’t resist yanking your chain, no offense intended…

The one with the two screwdrivers has some serious polish!
Did you do that or did it come that way?
Yes I did hand polish both of them.

To summarize the "research" I conducted throughout the winter of 2023-24 I would offer this. I'd decided to acquire new 1851 and 1860 Colt replicas to replace my old ASM (Cabela's circa 1993) models. After weeks of every morning scouring every web forum and YouTube channel I could find and talking to a few real people, I went ahead and bought Pietta for both models. Aside from ridiculously placed roll markings and being somewhat over-springed, I have no issues with either gun. Both cleaned up beautifully and needed very little tweaking. Pietta has definitely come a long way since Covid. Bottom line? If it's all about cosmetic appearance, buy Uberti (and pay more). If it's all about actually shooting them, flip a coin.
