^^ Yeah, I really like it.

The #1 Remmie was my first cap and ball pistol, and I liked the finish so well I bought another and was lucky enough to also score 2 conversion cylinders for .45 LC also with the same finish. They are a great pair. I lied when I said I had an 1860 also, it's a Leech and Rigdon with the finish. It is nearly perfectly indistinguishable from an original as far as finish goes. You would need to to a darned careful job on a blued finish gun to duplicate it.

The grips are still sort of glossy on these, but some steel wool and oil fixes that in five minutes.
