REMINGTONS’ . .
ARMY AND NAVY REVOLVER,
THE REMINGTON REVOLVER
Hns been approved by the United States Bourd of Ordnance; and has &o satlataclorlly
met the reqiirenents of the Government, not oily in the field, but ln jhe official
losis and examinations nade by ‘prominenE Oilers thé Ordnance Department,
that it sutids nt ouce the TOS D pular, serviceable wud approved arm of the kind In
use. Upwards of 126,000 have been’ sup pliéd to the Government within tho past four
years, tor the land and naval service, turnishing ample evidence of the estimation in
which the arms are held. 2
1 Shople and syinnmetrical in its entire construction, securely strony, of most modern
bmprevement In mechsnism and malerial; ts nnequaled range and penetration, toecther with its durability, are polnts in Hts favor now well Known, and which challeuge a comparison with any other
pistol of the kind inde {1 this country or in Europe. a : i al a: .
The superior strength and capacity, of the arm lor constant and long ns¢ ‘Is apparent from the fact that the entire
frame is construcied of asnizte rte of metal, thus preventing the extension of sume portlong.of the frame, from the
a many pistols—In which the traime ls composed of two or more parts.
Phe trame of the Remington Kevotver furnishlug a top star or support above ‘the cylinder, served to protect the
“base pin (on which tbe-eslinder rovelyes) from any undue strain to whioh.it would plber wise be, subjected, and which
would Immediately render the tlre of fire from the cylinder to the burrel Imperfect, th
Another advatitageous feature of the artn Is the yeuns afforded for the Instantaneous removal of the cylinder from
the trame This not only facilitates the cleaning of the pistol, but by the quick adjustment of the cylinder, one pistol
can be made ag cifectual as two—and, considering the dliferente of weight, ItIstar preferable—by simply possessiig a
spare cylinder louded and capped to instantly replace the exhausted one,
