1858 Remington Sheriff in casehardened steel

man, that's a shame--sure is a pretty thing. Keep an eye out here though. I've seen more than one up for sale here on occasion.
 
Handsome yes. But compared to Cabela's sale prices for the non-fluted cylinder models, it's a lot more expensive to basically just get a fluted cylinder. No wonder they didn't sell many. If buying the fluted cylinder at a reasonable price was an option, then more folks might be interested in only buying that. :)

One of the reasons that I wanted them is because I don't like the barrels on Remingtons. They are heavy because of the octagonal shape and length. Since they don't come in round barrels I would prefer the 5 1/2" barrel what EMS had as opposed to the length of the Cabelas model. It appears that Cabelas does'nt carry them in the 5 1/2" barrel with the case hardened frame look. Also the grips on the EMF looked nicer.

Actually I don't like the fluted cylinders. I would have used my other Peitta round ones.
 
Maybe I would have to by two from Cabelas. One in the long barrel and case hardened look and one with the 5 1/2" barrel and then swap barrels and loading levers and then I would have a standard blue Rem to sell to someone that would want one, but that would be expensive and a hassle.
