What’s Included
- A. Uberti factory cardboard box with end label (Stoeger/Uberti, item 341200, Mod. 0120 1858 New Army Carbine 18 in .44)
The carbine retains the Remington top-strap frame architecture with an unfluted 6-shot cylinder and the traditional under-barrel loading lever and plunger. It operates as a single-action only cap-and-ball muzzleloader, staying true to the original pattern while benefiting from modern Uberti manufacturing.
The 18 in steel barrel is tapered, octagonal, and blued, paired with iron sights: a dovetailed front blade and an adjustable rear barrel sight with a stepped elevator for elevation adjustments. This setup provides a period-correct sight picture tailored to the carbine-length barrel.
Construction and finishes are classic and durable: a blued steel frame, a color case-hardened hammer, and a walnut stock. The stock is fitted with a crescent brass buttplate and a brass trigger guard with a finger-rest loop, echoing 19th-century styling and ergonomics.
Proofs and import markings include the Italian CIP PN black-powder proof, the Gardone proof house crest, and a boxed 21 year code denoting 2021 proof. Factory references include catalog code Mod. 0120 and manufacturer part number 341200.
Dimensions and handling are carbine-appropriate: approximately 35.3 in overall length, around 4.25 lb in weight, a 14.25 in length of pull, and a 6-chamber cylinder. The package offers a balanced, shoulder-fired take on the 1858 New Army platform.
