Traded for this today. Can anyone tell me what model it is first I've seen with adjustable sights?

It’s an 1858 Remington replica, should be in .44 cal, but could be in .36. I have two of the target models with adjustable sights that I bough back in the 80’s. Not sure when they stopped making them or if they still do.

I've had one since the mid 80's and it is my best match pistol but it took a lot of work to make it so. It's goes to the target matches and the ROA and other cap busters stay at home.
Most all of these need a barrel lap, trigger job and chamber mouth ream to make them do their best. Every thing is there to make a top flight match gun with some informed work.
 
Thanks for info.on the fence about keeping it I'm not much of a pistol guy.It cleaned up good.
 
Just curious. How did you remove the cylinder with the T portion of the cylinder arbor missing?

Is the frame drill through so the arbor can be accessed from the hammer end?
 
Yes cam in from hammer end. push pin forward far enough to get a hold of it and pull it forward. Curious on how it could have got broken?

On sold frame guns the part is called a base pin instead of arbor.
 
On a Remington you simply drop the loading lever and pull it out. For a Spiller & Burr drop the loading lever, turn the lock in the frame and remove the loading lever assembly which also doubles as the base pin. The Rogers & Spencer is pretty much the same as the S&B.
