The production of firearms by Remington goes back to 1816, when Eliphalet Remington produced his first gun in Ilion N.Y. Thanks to the talent of his designer, Mr. Beals, in 1858 he patented and started the production of a revolutionary revolver; the 1858 New Model Army .44 cal. The RGST36 is part of the 1858 family and is built from easy to maintain stailess steel and features adjustable target sights and a 6 1/2 inch barrel.
