I want to see this...
I know the Pietta Remington Navy is built on the same frame and cylinder as the Army. They just bored smaller holes in the cylinder and added a shorter barrel. It's heavy, ungainly, and useless. If you're going full size frame, just get a .44. Compare it to the original Remington Navy and it almost looks comical in comparison.

Welp, the Pietta Remington .36 is heavy, unhistoric
and ungainly (compared to a ‘51) but I’m not so sure as to the useless part.  Pretty much a .36 magnum and it has certain useful aspects.  For a target gun heavy can be good.  Every time I pick mine up I think of what a nice .44 it would have made with that 6.5” barrel and steel frame.  Well proportioned too, yet unhistoric - but still,  it sho am a shooter.

You have one of those in brass, don’t you Captain?  One of your family members was using it, I recall.

Close, G. But no cigar...

 
But you get bonus points for your sharp memory!!!

My son has my old Navy Remington in .36, but it's steel, not brass. And it's also a Lyman (DGG) which makes it a San Paolo. IIRC the date code was early 70's. It's indeed smaller than the Pietta, but not as small as the original Remmy Navy, which is more on par with a Colt Pocket size and weight-wise.
