Colt New Model (Model 1861) Navy Cartridge Conversion Revolver. The Model 1861 Navy was the pinnacle of Colt’s percussion revolver production and blended some of the best features of both the popular Old Model Navy (aka Model 1851) and New Model Army (aka Model 1860) revolvers into one pistol. The gun was a .36 caliber (as implied by the name “Navy”), six-shot, single action revolver with a 7 ½” round barrel. The loading lever was of the M1860 Army “creeping style” and for all practical purposes the front half of the revolver was a scaled down version of M1860 Army in .36 caliber. The rear portion of the revolver was pure “Navy” with the classic M1851 grip frame and grip angle, which would live for generations as the pattern for the grip design of the classic Colt Model 1873 Single Action Army. The M1861 Navy was more streamlined than the earlier M1851 variant and the new loading lever was a significant improvement over the older toggle action design.

Jeg anbefaler ingen å skyte med antikke våpen og har ikke ammunisjon. Dette er et våpen som jeg har samlet på og jeg kan ikke uttale meg om skyting, hjemmelading, ammunisjon, presisjon osv.
