Built on a Remington-pattern closed-top frame, this 1858 New Army reproduces the robust design with an integral fixed rear notch, blued steel frame and backstrap, and a brass trigger guard. The walnut grip panels provide a traditional profile, and the hammer shows a mottled case-hardened appearance.
The 8-inch octagonal, crowned steel barrel pairs with a fixed front blade and rear notch for a classic sight picture. Internally, the barrel uses 7-groove rifling with a 1:18 left-hand twist, optimized for .44-caliber black powder use.
The six-shot percussion cylinder is actuated by a single-action-only mechanism with a spur hammer. A loading lever with a front latch is fitted beneath the barrel for consistent ball seating.
Overall length is approximately 13.6 inches with a weight of about 2.7 lbs, offering a well-balanced handling profile. Markings include the Uberti octagon U logo on the buttstrap, and the factory box end label reads "mod. 0107 1858 NEW IMPR. ARM 8 .44." Configuration aligns with Uberti USA item 341000 1858 New Army – Blue Steel.
