If it ain't a replica, then you just hit the lottery!
Nice looking piece of nostalgia. I'll bet it's fun to shoot.

From outward appearances it looks to be modern. The brass is still shiny, the wood light in color with zero handling marks.

Thanks for sharing. Never seen a revolving rifle before. They were originally manufactured by Colt as far back as 1830. I don't know who made your rifle but it's a keeper for sure.

A neat looking outfit,,a repro/modern made percussion unit I'd guess (rammer).
Just remember to place your non trigger hand on the guard spur and not on the forend when firing. That's avoid the unpleasent possibility of a chain fire mishap with your hand in front of the cylinder.
Even just the BP flash in front of the cylinder can be painful if your hand is on the forend of one of the revolving rifles.
Colt designed theirs with a knob like extension on the trigger guard for the off hand to rest safely.

I could find information that is a replica of the 1879 Remington New Army .22 LR (original 44 caliber black powder) when I received I spent the evening cleaning and polishing of after the former owner has never fired it was just a piece collection but few perfectly to fire

This is a replica ever shot, but it is quite capable of doing it and never saw the outside but new condition bought there a few decades.
