Got the new 1860 44 from Cabelas today and all I can say is wow! My other gun is a 24 year old brass frame ASM 1858 that I got at a garage sail. Compared to the Remington the Colt is a thing of beauty. The balance and feal of it in my hand is hard to describe. I liken the Remington to a Stanley tool, always functions but not real pretty. The Colt is more of a micrometor type tool. I know the ASM is not the best quality out there but the look of the Colt just seems more pleasing to the eye. Took it apart to wipe out the oil and tapped the wedge out with a oak shim with one firm tap. Hope to get them out and shoot both this weekend. Twogun1975
