There was in fact three models of this revolver, The Remington-Beals Army, produced from 1860 -1862. The Remington Old Model Army, produced from 1862 -1863 and the New Model Army with its long manufacturing flown 1863 right approximately 1875 or twelve years. All these models appear very comparable upon first glimpse but subtle variations between every one can be observed upon closer inspection.
In 1860 just in time for the Civil War the trend for military guns was that the ammunition was commercially put together from combustible paper cartridge cases which was abided by a conical bullet.
The entire lot was rammed into the revolvers cylinders, a percussion cap put on completion nipples of the cylinder and upon firing, the paper would totally combust. To see how all cap n ball revolvers were normally loaded.
