Disassembling & Cleaning Remington Cap & Ball Revolvers

[duelist1954]

This will be old news to current Remington shooters, but for folks who don't own a Remington New Model Army revolver yet, but are thinking about getting one in the future, this could be useful.

I had to break it into two videos due to length.

Part one deals with cleaning the cylinder and nipples.

Part 2 shows how to completely disassemble, clean and re-assemble the revolver.

Very Nice!
Well Done,, :thumbsup:
Cylinder and Nipple care is important enough to deserve a video section of it's own.

After you smoothed the inside of the frame for the hand did you reblue it?

Does the Remington 1863 disassemble the same way as the 1858?

Mike, very helpful - thanks.

Do you do a complete disassembly every time you clean? After cleaning, would it be a good idea to wipe the whole gun with, say, Rem Oil?

Can you give us a link to your video for cleaning a Colt?
