Remington Rider

[Dmitri Popov]

If anyone has one of these little guys, could you possibly upload a picture of the internals? I need to see how the guns trigger, sear, and hammer are designed.
Thanks

You might want to spring for a copy of Single-Shot Rifles by Frank DeHaas.

IF you can find one.

Too late tonight to start in.
But maybe tomorrow I can take photos of the chapter showing the internals.
If I get a Round-To-It?

Never mind.
I don't know why I was thinking single-shot rifle last night.

This is the first thing that popped up on Google this morning though.

Assuming that the OP is referring to that gun and not the Remington-Ryder magazine pistol, I, like others, have never been able to quite understand the reasoning behind that little gun. It surely cannot have been considered a serious defense gun, and its lack of decent sights rules it out (IMHO) for even "parlor" target shooting. It almost falls into the toy or noisemaker category, yet even made of brass it must have been fairly expensive to manufacture, unlike the cast iron "Fourth of July" guns sold later in the century.
