Very interesting replies,thanks folks!
Yes,I too have read Remingtons were fouling faster than the open-topped Colts,but if a Remington shooter would remove empty cylinder(what requires the cylinder pin to be moved forward)from the frame,and replace it with another freshly loaded cylinder,I think the effect of fouling could be significantly diminished.Of course,this would be possible only if the shooter had spare cylinders.
I wonder after how many shoots would a Remington ''freeze''Any thoughts?(oh yes,all shots from one cylinder)
What`s the most fouling-proof C&B revolver in your opinion?
What`s the ergonomics of LeMat,I mean,can it be cocked easily w/o hand shifting?
And now to muddle muddy water more,a quote from CLASSIC ARMS magazine
''...the Remington New Model Army purchased in large numbers during the war nad co-issued with the Colt M1860 as the standard firearm for cavalry was not well regarded by frontier troops owing to misfires and breakages.''
D`you know what kind of breakages it was?
