Collectors reports 4 or even 5 models. In Remington catalogs only 3 arise. No trace of a .30 caliber or .38 caliber model. From the .30 caliber model real peaces are documented non of a .38 caliber model. The .38 caliber seems being be an error in measuring of .41 caliber models.

Remington negotiated with the U.S. Army Ordnance Departement to take over a contract for 5.000 U.S. Model 1841 rifles. This contract was given to John Griffith in December 1842 but he failed to produce the guns. Remington came to an agreement with Griffith to take over his machinery and tools. This arrangement was approved by the Ordnance Department and he got the contract on September 8, 1845 at $13 peace. Remington was allowed to deliver 1.000 of the 5.000 guns with "cast steel" on which Remington already experimented by the late 1820. With this gun contract Remington started its gun manufacturing period. Prior only barrels and metal goods were made by them. Delivery of these "Mississippi Rifles" started not before April 1850 when 300 items were supplied. Further lots of 500 items followed every 60 to 90 days. The contract was fulfilled by September 1852. A further contract for again 5.000 "Mississippi Rifles" were granted to Remington in Noveber 1851 and was fulfielled by December 1854. Jenks Navy Carbines In 1841 William Jenks got a contract for his patented breech loading mule-ear carbines. Jenks subcontracted the manufacture ot N.P. Ames & Co, Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. It is believed that Ames delivered about 4.250 of these guns. In 1845 Jenks contracted for another 1.000 of his guns but with Maynard's priming mechanism. Remington contacted Ames and purchased their contract in 1845. The first delivery of thes Jenks carbines tock place on April 5, 1848 and by September of the same year all 1.000 guns were shipped.

All these guns were of former Remington production. However, Remington was only able to alter 3278 rifles as Collins & Co, Collinsville, Connecticut was unbale to deliver bayonets for all the 5.000 guns. The remaining 1.732 guns were altered for angular bayonets at another contractor.

Probably non of these 2.500 guns was ever issued to troops during the Civil War. right side Remington-Rider also called Remington Split-Breech Carbine Old Model Carbine Based on Riders patent 40,887 of December 8, 1863. Remington got a first Federal government contract in March 1864 for 1,000 .46 caliber rimfire with 20" barrel, referred to as the small frame or first model. In December the contract was raised to 5,000 .46 r.f. caliber carbines. in October 1864 aditional 15,000 carbines with larger frame in .50 r.f.

At the end of hostilities 14,000 guns were declared as surplus and rebought by Remington in 1870 and sold to France. From remaining parts about 1,000 more in .50 caliber (56-50 Spencer rimfire) were assembled for the civilian market. Those are considered as third model. In Summer 1866 the members of the famous Nelson cattle drive must have been equipped with such guns. When the cattle drive happened the 50-70 government cartridge as well as the New Model Remingtong using this ammunition was not yet available. All of these Remingtons were made by the Savage Repeating Arms Company, Middltetown, Connecticut. See Samuel Norris for further details.

Vest Pocket Pistol general remarks

Manufactured from 1865 to 1888 and in general the production is estimated at about 25.000 for all the models. (about 15.000 in .22 and 10.000 in the other calibers)
Sometimes production is estimated at about 85.000 pistols as highest number reported is serial number 84.575 at a .22 caliber pistol.

Collectors reports 4 or even 5 models. In Remington catalogs only 3 arise. No trace of a .30 caliber or .38 caliber model. From the .30 caliber model real peaces are documented non of a .38 caliber model. The .38 caliber seems being be an error in measuring of .41 caliber models.

Some guns have longer barrels as up to 22 1/2" and attachable skleton shoulder stock. Called Vest Pocket Wire stocked, Buggy Rifle or Bicycle Rifle. Most likely this are custom made pistols as no advertising of Remington found for these models.

Mason's Revolver

William Mason, who worked also for Colt and Winchester invented a side swing cylinder with a cartridge extracion. Likely what we know today on S&W or Colt revolvers. Unfortunately the potential of his invention was not recognized by Remington. The original patent model was made in wood and is still existing.

Based on Masons's patent no. 51.117 of November 21th, 1865 a fiew revolvers seems being made but non documented.

U.S. Model 1841 rifle "Mississippi Rifle"

In 1845 E. Remington negotiated with the U.S. Army Ordnance Departement to take over a contract for 5.000 U.S. Model 1841 rifles. This contract was given to John Griffith in December 1842 but he failed to produce the guns. Remington came to an agreement with Griffith to take over his machinery and tools. This arrangement was approved by the Ordnance Department and he got the contract on September 8, 1845 at $13 peace. Remington was allowed to deliver 1.000 of the 5.000 guns with "cast steel" on which Remington already experimented by the late 1820. With this gun contract Remington started its gun manufacturing period. Prior only barrels and metal goods were made by them.

Delivery of these "Mississippi Rifles" started not before April 1850 when 300 items were supplied. Further lots of 500 items followed every 60 to 90 days. The contract was fulfilled by September 1852.

A further contract for again 5.000 "Mississippi Rifles" were granted to Remington in Noveber 1851 and was fulfielled by December 1854.

Jenks Navy Carbines

In 1841 William Jenks got a contract for his patented breech loading mule-ear carbines. Jenks subcontracted the manufacture ot N.P. Ames & Co, Chicopee Falls, Massachusetts. It is believed that Ames delivered about 4.250 of these guns. In 1845 Jenks contracted for another 1.000 of his guns but with Maynard's priming mechanism. Remington contacted Ames and purchased their contract in 1845. The first delivery of thes Jenks carbines tock place on April 5, 1848 and by September of the same year all 1.000 guns were shipped.

U.S. Model 1841 "Mississippi" Rifle Alteration

With contract of May 30, 1861 Remington was requested to alter 5.000 of U.S. Model 1851 to take sword bayonets. All these guns were of former Remington production. However, Remington was only able to alter 3278 rifles as Collins & Co, Collinsville, Connecticut was unbale to deliver bayonets for all the 5.000 guns. The remaining 1.732 guns were altered for angular bayonets at another contractor.

Between December 1863 and January 1864 Remington received 2.500 (Harpers Ferry) rifles (many 2nd class) to adapt them as "Zuave". Probably non of these 2.500 guns was ever issued to troops during the Civil War.

Remington-Rider

also called
Remington Split-Breech Carbine
Old Model Carbine Based on Riders patent 40,887 of December 8, 1863. Remington got a first Federal government contract in March 1864 for 1,000 .46 caliber rimfire with 20" barrel, referred to as the
small frame or first model.
In December the contract was raised to 5,000 .46 r.f. caliber carbines.

in October 1864 aditional 15,000 carbines with larger frame in .50 r.f. (56-50 Spencer rimfire) caliber with 20" barrel was received. Collectors names it
large frame or second model.
Non of these guns were used during the civil war. At the end of hostilities 14,000 guns were declared as surplus and rebought by Remington in 1870 and sold to France.

From remaining parts about 1,000 more in .50 caliber (56-50 Spencer rimfire) were assembled for the civilian market. Those are considered as
third model.
In Summer 1866 the members of the famous Nelson cattle drive must have been equipped with such guns. When the cattle drive happened the 50-70 government cartridge as well as the New Model Remingtong using this ammunition was not yet available.

All of these Remingtons were made by the Savage Repeating Arms Company, Middltetown, Connecticut. See Samuel Norris for further details.
