Hello my friends! We should lobby Uberti, Pietta or Pedersoli to make a Beaumont Adams repro!
16,000 were used in the U.S. Civil War by the Union in .36 caliber! Larger caliber .442 ones (could round it up to take normal .451-.454 balls) were imported too I believe! Double/single action. Very cool.
Why is just the same old Remingtons and Colts that have been out for years as repros? I think we could send these guys some emails to get them to make one! Who would like to see a NEW never before seen percussion revolver model?
Just kidding, I know there is no market for this revolver and it will never be made as a repro. There probably will never be another new type of cap and ball revolver made by any of the big repro makers, even though there were many other cap and ball revolvers used during the war, some even on a fairly large scale (like this one).
Still fun to talk about though!
