Interesting .22 Remington revolving rifle.
« on: August 20, 2017, 08:33:25 PM »
Not sure what section this would go in. It's a replica of an 1858 Remington revolving rifle except it's in .22 caliber cartridge. It has a brass frame.
The link is to an old auction but I am just wondering if anybody has ever seen or owned one? Also wondering if they made a steel frame version? Seems like a pretty cool gun.

It's not a Uberti as claimed. It's an ArmiSport.

I attempted to buy one a few years ago at a gun show in Nebraska.   I thought the grandkids would like shooting it.   Since I live in Colorado the seller would have had to ship it to an FFL in Colorado.   I declined, I wasn't willing to pay shipping and transfer fees.
It seemed to be a decent little gun but I didn't like the ribs on the forearm.    Hawg is right, not made by Uberti,   ArmiSport Chiappa made them.  I don't think there was a steel frame model.
