Yes, they come with both types of bullets, but the bullet seals can be a little tight at times and must be carefully eased.
The 1875 Remington duel ammo revolver's cartridges are the only ones that will work. If there is a need for more, please let us know. More of the same was ordered. The diameter of the cylinders on the Remington prevents other cartridges from fitting. I've attempted to use others of a similar caliber. However, because they did not fit, I had to return them.
The CO2 cartridges are not included in any of the airguns. These are always offered as a stand-alone item. They are available from Amazon, Walmart, and any other sporting goods retailer. Have a lot of fun and stay safe while shooting.
The co2 is installed with the help of a hex key found inside the handle.

But it's all right in the end. In the end, this is something I enjoy. It feels substantial, appears to be well-machined, and looks fantastic. I'd buy it again now that I've figured out a few things.
BUT . I've discovered a couple of things that may save you some time and frustration.
- Single-action (SA) revolvers are very straightforward. The cylinder is loaded, the hammer is pulled back, and the trigger is pulled. the gun goes off, and the gun goes off. The safety on all of the SAs I'm aware of (although there are likely some exceptions due to the various designs) is to leave the hammer down on an empty chamber. On the old SA cap in the cowboy/cavalry style- The hammer served as an anvil in and-ball handguns, and the blow it delivered to the percussion cap ignited the chamber. It only took a hard blow on the hammer to cause the weapon to fire if you left it down on a loaded and primed chamber, which is obviously a bad thing when it isn't by design. The "firing pin" was machined into the hammer on newer cartridge models, so putting the hammer down on a loaded chamber meant the firing pin was resting on the primer (or, in the case of rimfire ammo, on the rim). With another sharp hammer blow, you've got yourself a lot more excitement than you'd like. Even though newer revolvers allow you to have the hammer down on a loaded chamber of the cylinder, I know a lot of people who are still hesitant to do so. br>br>WHAT DOES THIS HAVE TO DO WITH THIS AIRGUN:
- I noticed the hammer was cocked back about 5/8" from the frame when I first took it out of the plastic packaging. On a real SA, the hammer should be flush with the frame OR half-cocked or fully cocked. It would be a bad thing if the hammer was not flush with the frame when uncocked, as this would indicate a problem. THIS AIRGUN, ON THE OTHER HAND, SHOULD LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THAT WHEN UNCOCKED.
- I also noticed that I couldn't cycle the hammer. Again, this would be a VERY bad thing on a REAL SA revolver because one of the major virtues of SA revolvers is simplicity. Pull the hammer back and pull the trigger if the cylinder chambers are loaded. the gun goes off, and the gun goes off. The fact that the hammer couldn't be cycled was a big red flag.
- So I emailed them, explaining that they had sent me a paperweight and that I needed a replacement or a refund. They responded almost immediately and sent me a draft of the proposal. To return it, I had to pay for a return mailing label.
- However, I am a man. I didn't do anything but stare at it and fiddle around with it. IT APPEARS THAT I AM A BONEHEAD. WHO KNEW?
- Unlike a real SA, this airgun is equipped with a safety. It's not easy to find, and you're not looking for one if your headspace is set to SA handgun mode. When the safety is activated, the entire action is frozen. INTERESTINGLY, IT DOESN'T SAY THAT ANYWHERE ON THE PACKAGING OR IN THE INSTRUCTIONS.
- I also discovered a YouTube video for the weapons, and while the instructor didn't mention it, closeups clearly showed that when the airgun was uncocked, there was a gap between the hammer and the frame.
SO:
- When you get yours, keep in mind that the gap between the frame and the hammer is perfectly normal.
- Because the weapon is shipped with the safety engaged, you won't be able to cycle the hammer until you disengage it. br>I strongly advise the company to include prominent lettering on the packaging as well as at the top of the instructions stating that the airgun is shipped with the safety engaged, that it cannot be cycled until the safety is disengaged, and that the gap between the hammer and frame is normal. br>The only reason I gave it four stars instead of five is because of what I consider to be poor attention to detail in the instructions and packaging.
The Remington 1875 is a large pistol that uses BBs or pellets to fire. It includes six BB "cartridges" and six pellet "cartridges. " The cartridges (which resemble bullets) appear to be identical, and the instructions make no mention of the differences. As a result, I was unaware that I had them loaded incorrectly when I did so. It turns out that the ones for NN's have four. The shell casings have a small "pellets" emblem in the same area as the 4, and the pellet casings have a small "pellets" emblem in the same area as the 4. The number five would have been appropriate. Everything worked fine, though I did notice that the pellets were more accurate than the BBs. I was so happy with this pistol that I ordered a second one as well as eight extra sets of cartridges. In the not-too-distant future, I'll purchase holsters for these.
This is a brand new and exciting addition to the Old West 1875 replicas, as it is both BB and pellet fed. It's a great-looking piece that has a good weight to it. When you pull the trigger back or spin the cartridge cylinder, it makes a sound. Only one problem: the barrel is not securely locked and straight; it has a slight wobble that will make target shooting more difficult. To solve this problem, insert a shim between the barrel and the housing. Use a piece of aluminum from a soda can as a shim to slide it in to secure and lock the barrel and stop the slight wobble.
After about 600 to 1000 rounds, the hammer spring became extremely weak, and the gun no longer fires. Now, I'm not sure if this is just my gun because from the other reviews, it appears to be a good gun, but mine didn't work out, so perhaps I just got a lemon because there's always one in a large batch of guns.
This is an excellent work. I've even "fanned" the hammer and all 6 shots fired without issue, and the co2 tool is kept inside the grip cover to prevent it from being lost, which is a big plus in my book. Not once did I feel let down.
It's extremely small and of low quality. The 1875 Remington pellet pistol appears to be a high-quality item. br>However, I suppose I'll never know because the owner's manual is impossible to read. Even my great-grandchildren's sharp young eyes can't make out the print because it's so small and of such poor quality. I can't use the pellet gun because I can't read the instruction manual. br>I have to assume that if the seller is unconcerned about the quality of the instructions they sent with the product, they are equally unconcerned about the product's quality, or the product's working quality is so poor that they don't want you to use it. In my old west holster and belt, it looks pretty good hanging in the living room. But that's about all it's good for if you don't know how to use it. Expensive interior design. br>It looks almost as good as the old cap pistol six shooter I used to have when I was a kid in 1941.
This is a fantastic replica of the 1875 Remington Army Revolver, which was designed to compete with the Colt Peacemaker at the time. Even though the cylinder is somewhat "skeletonized" (you can see from one chamber to the next when the loading gate is opened), this replica shoots well. Although the grip is "fatter" than that of the Umarex Colt peacemaker, it feels good in the hand. The cartridges for the Colt Peacemaker are not interchangeable with the Umarex cartridges. It has a nice balance in your hand and allows for natural target pointability. Shooting this was a lot of fun. A fantastic purchase at a fantastic price.
It looks great, runs smoothly, has a nice heft to it, and fits large lots like mine. My expectations aren't high because it's a smoothbore. At a distance of ten yards, he is capable of pinpoint accuracy. It lived up to expectations. The real thrill comes from showing it to people who aren't familiar with it. Shooters explain that it's very similar to the real thing, and their jaws drop when they see the weight and primitive sights. br>br>Come on, Crosman, let's get some decent packaging for this, as others have said. The large Western-style hotel is also worth mentioning. For what is otherwise an authentic appearance, the type "1875" on the frame appears a little cheesy.
