It one of those things we don't appreciate. I recall seeing a design for "basically" a machine gun from the 1700's. They weren't in mass use by any army. But they all certainly knew about the technology at the time. Eye opening. -Marky
British revolvers were being made in double only in the early 1850s and from 1855 onwards in double action in the modern sense. I suggest you expand your horizons and look into Beaumont -Adams and Tranter Revolvers.
When I come across a hoard of Beaumont-Adams and Tranter Revolvers I will discuss it. Untill then im going to stick with what I have. Remington -Freeze
Just came across this video,,Great stuff! I have been looking for an example of this revolver for years,,Nice to finally get to see one I working condition,,Now the big question,,” Are you going to do a video of you shooting it?”
No. We were helping a family settle an estate. It’s best to let the new owners decide if they want to shoot them or not. Glad you liked the video. I’ll tell Freeze about your comment. He’s the person in this one. Regards, Marky
Unfortunately we worked with this specific gun for an estate consultation. Outside of what we dug up on this gun specifically, I don’t know about variants. Or don’t recall. Sorry. -Marky
@@John1911 I used to think the wood looked too light on the 2nd gen Colts also, but after seeing some nicely preserved originals, honey orangish colored wood occurred with the early finishes too
Hi Was the trigger mechanism precise ?? Accuracy was good ?? There was a 44 caliber ?? There was a length of 5.5 inches ?? In my opinion, it is worth convincing Remington or Pietta or Ubertii to start producing this model Regards Artur Poland
This video is from some consulting we did with an estate. Due to it’s value, it wasn’t fired. As for Remington making it anytime soon? That is unlikely since Remington doesn’t really exist like that any longer. -Marky
Hi! Im currently looking to maybe buy a Remington Rider with a fluted cylinder myself, but its in alot worse condition so my question is how was the DA mechanic? Did it work well? The one im currently looking at has some DA problems so it probably needs some work. Great to see a Rider in such good condition tho!
This was some work we did for an estate. Mechanically the scan was an excellent condition. But we don’t have any access to it anymore. Glad you like the video. Regards, Marky
Hello I'm watching this movie again and I'm impressed. as a Remington fan and the owner of an Italian Remington new army replica I would like to ask about the source of the diagrams / technical drawings of this model
If its not too much to ask can your do a disassembly video on this model? I have just gone on a google adventure looking for the patent drawings or even the internals for the Remington DA/SA revolvers and could find nothing. Just about all of the main double action revolvers from the 1800s have a 3d model or drawing showing how their lockup worked but the Remington Rider doesn't. I have no clue how difficult it would be but those such as myself would appreciate a reference model like this ( ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vH3CsODgSCk.html ). If not then no worries and thanks for making this video, just knowing it exists makes me happy.
@@John1911 Much appreciated, sorry for the slow response my schedule is flipped. Don't worry about it I was just curious and thanks for responding. Cheers!
