This video provides a detailed comparison between the Alsop Navy Revolver and its companion pocket model. While mechanically identical, the primary focus is on the visual differences, particularly the distinct grip frame protrusion on the Navy model versus the slight step on the pocket version. The Alsop revolvers, produced in 1862-1863, are explored in the context of their .36 caliber Navy and .31 caliber pocket patterns, with a total of 800 units made. The video encourages viewers to refer to a previous video for a deeper dive into the history and mechanics of the Alsop design.
This video details the Remington Split Breech carbine, a precursor to the Rolling Block. It covers its patent history involving Geiger and Rider, production challenges during the Civil War leading to Savage manufacturing, and differences between the .44 Rimfire and .50-45 (56-50 Spencer) models. The review also touches on mechanical operation, markings, sights, and post-war resale to France.
