1858 Remington triggers

[CaprockJim]

I just purchased a Lyman Remington replica made by Armi San Paola (now Euroarms I believe). I got it on line with the understanding that it has a broken trigger, and haven’t received it yet. I was wondering if the triggers are interchangeable between the Italian replicas or if I need to get one from that maker. If so, does anyone know who carries them?
Thanks for any help,
Jim

From reading threads, I'd guess that Uberti parts would be a closer fit than Pietta.
A poster in this thread said that an Uberti cylinder was a drop in fit with his ASP Remington.--->>> https://1858remington.com/index.php?topic=8323.0
You can contact VTI gun parts and ask them for advice.
They sell both Uberti and Pietta parts.
That doesn't mean that the parts from one company will directly interchange with another.
However, one company's part may require less fitting than another.

S&S Firearms used to carry a lot of Euroarms parts but that was a long time ago.
You can contact them to see what they say.

Sometimes you may be able to find parts on eBay or from European sources.
The Euroarms guns were said to be made close to the originals, so perhaps even replacement parts for the original may fit.

Henry Krank was a large Euroarms seller in the UK who offered some other Euroarms revolver parts online until recently.
They may have some info. on parts, but you'd probably need to inquire by email. --->>> https://www.henrykrank.com

You'll probably need wait to receive the gun in order to identity the exact part that needs to be replaced.

Thank you. I appreciate your taking the time to provide so much info.

I have both an Armi San Paolo (Euroarms) and an Uberti NMA. Although the Uberti is a little more robust, generally, most of the parts will interchange. This is particularly true of the cylinder. A Howell conversion cylinder made for an Uberti will work in the ASP.

So, I would start by getting an Uberti trigger from VTI and seeing if it would fit. It may be that only minor adjustment is required.

Depending on where the trigger is broken it can be rebuilt by welding and brought back to spec. The previous owner may not have known if the trigger itself was broken or the trigger/cylinder stop spring is broken. Get it in hand and check it out so you have the right answer.

I would wait till you get the gun, before ordering parts. you might save your self some cash. Take it apert whe you get it to dtermine what is needed.
