Scarce UNENGRAVED Antique REMINGTON-RIDER .32 Caliber XSRF MAGAZINE Pistol

Antique Remington-Rider Magazine Pistol. The majority of these were engraved making this one rare. This pistol was manufactured circa the late 1870s to early 1880s based on designs by Joseph Rider. This pistol is a 5-shot repeater chambered for the .32 extra-short rimfire cartridge. It uses a tube magazine under the barrel and a simple but clever vertically shifting breechblock to give an impressive amount of firepower in a small package.

Fewer than 15,000 of these were made between the production run of 1871 and 1888 and they represent one of the few American users of a tube magazine in a handgun. The design was influenced by the popular Winchester rifles. The Riders are among the earliest magazine fed pistols. The pistol takes up basically the same amount of pocket space as Remington’s famous double derringer but allowed for five shots instead of two. The action is unique in itself. The large spur brings another cartridge from the magazine while simultaneously cocking hammer. The large spur travels forward again to close the breech and has an aperture that acts as the rear sight.

Original and case colored finish. Excellent action.Sharp markings.

The aenemic .32 extra-short rim fire cartridge was also used in the Chicago Firearms "Protector" palm pistol.

This one is in excellent condition, with 99%+ of the original nickel intact.The action works properly, and the ejector moves up when the action is opened. The bore of the 2 1/2 inch barrel is excellent and bright, with sharp rifling. The rosewood grips are excellent and undamaged, showing no handling marks or finish loss. These guns were not serial-numbered. Rated excellent overall.
