Good to know jethunter, She still works perfect... no complaints what so ever mechanically. I'm sure it will make a good shooter for many rounds to come.
These revolvers may look a little archaic but they sure engineered them well.

sorry site won't allow me to post attachments
it's a great shooter, fired about 20 or so rounds with no problems, there is little felt recoil but lots of smoke. the ammo is H&C collection re loadable brass. fffg Goex black powder
I have a Remington 58 new army on it's way, my first attempt at a U.S. mailorder antique revolver through customs, hope it goes well.
I will post a pic as soon as it arrives

Hi
My Remington 1858 new model army .44 arrived today, hard to believe it is
140 +yrs old! it was restored in the early 70's as a shooter. the barrel is a modern replacement as well as the grips. the great thing with this cap and ball is no shortage of ammo
and parts are readily available. I think I may have set a record for passing through customs less than 24hrs

Good for another 140 years and the cylinder looks to be in great shape.
And as you mentioned ammo is cheap and plentiful, it is amusing to watch large calibre cartridge shooters run out of ammo at the range and have to leave.

Love these pics, thanks for posting!.
I love them Pryses the frist guns that i collected and loved the most were Pryse revolvers one that looked very much like your bigger one.
They shoot great and feel so good in the hands and there latch system is good and strong.
They just have such a nice flow and shape.
Im into Remington 1875s and SAA colts now because of the stronger solid frames but i still love the look of them old pryse guns.
Dave Whats the Story on the little one? its Diffrent has a diffrent type latch system can you get us some more pics and show the latch system?
I find that one very intresting.
