I came across a second-hand, never-fired .36 cal Remington New Army. I know it's historical accuracy is dubious, but it's .36 Cal. and has a 6 1/2" barrel, somewhat like the original Rem. Navy.
It's Pietta with a Date Code: CB. Can someone tell me the year on it?-- my chart doesn't include that recent of markings.
It has very little wear and locks tight and true. I'm going to go through it to do some minor polishing and adjusting and put proper lube on it.
It's always a little bit of a bummer to dirty a pristine gun, but I don't see any point in not using it.
Here's a photo. The Rem. "Navy" is between a Colt 1851 Navy and my old Remington 1858 Army (which has no brand marking on it beyond Navy Arms).
