[Septicdeath]

The Crosman Model 1861 Shiloh is a replica of the Remington Model 1861 Army revolver. While it’s vary similar to the original, it is not as close a replica as the other Crosman Wild West revolvers are to the SA6. Introducing some new features. The Model 1861 is the first of this series of Crosman replicas to feature a manual safety, a crossbolt safety located below the cylinder. The CO2 cover is a hinged section underneath the barrel, in the position where the loading lever on the original pistol. The CO2 tightening screw beneath the barrel is much bigger on the Model 1861 than the other western guns. The 1861 is able to shoot both .177″ pellets and BBs. More parts are made of plastic on this replica including the CO2 cover and the cylinder. The sights on this replica are also similar to conventional notch and post sights, which makes this one of the most accurate of all the Crosman Western revolvers.

This gun has been cleaned, lubed, and had new seals installed. Velocity was tested at around 339fps using H&N excite wadcutter pellets.

My brother had one of those when we were teens. It was a very cool revolver. I had forgotten about it until I saw your post. Thanks for bringing back a fond memory.

Professor,

Thanks for another great video. Couldn't agree more on two points, much nicer sights and looks more like a replica than the others. After it settled down, what a group! That's a shooter, for sure. As always, thanks for the close-ups and detailed explanations, it really helps me get a feel for the gun. Your efforts to keep our air gun history alive and well are much appreciated, WM
