    Original rem 1858 parts info

    Hi
    Hopefully I have posted this in the correct section .After a few months soaking in evaporust , then place in a small glass filled with penetrating oil and sat in a ultrasonic cleaner for a few sessions was the revolver cylinder . All the nipples / cones were beaten up and stuck really bad . I then applied heat and penetrating spray nightly and now I easily removed them successfully with some easy outs .
    All threads are fine and sharp…. What size are these and where could I obtain some who will ship to the uk ?
    Also in its past someone as ground out the forcing cone for some reason so can I obtain a cheap barrel .
    I will not be shooting this so it’s only a wall hanger but I like it to look the part
    Many thanks

    Dixie used to carry a lot of spare parts and may be able to help you.

    You might even be able to find an original barrel for a reasonable price. If not, a skilled gunsmith might be able to sleeve the forcing cone area and get it into shootable condition. Depends on how much you want to invest.
