Product Description
The INERT REM-UMC .26-20 round is a rare and fascinating collectible, representing a unique chapter in the history of American ammunition design. Manufactured by the Union Metallic Cartridge Company (U.M.C.), a pioneer in the development of sporting ammunition, this .26-20 round was designed for use in early 20th-century rifles and revolvers.
The .26-20 cartridge, though not as widely recognized as other calibers, was used for small to medium game hunting and target shooting. It offered hunters and shooters a balance of power and accuracy, with relatively low recoil compared to larger calibers, making it a popular choice for those seeking a more manageable shooting experience. The cartridge’s design was ideal for those using smaller, lever-action rifles or revolvers, as it provided a reliable option for smaller game without sacrificing too much performance.
This INERT round is fully deactivated, containing no live primer, propellant, or explosive components, ensuring it is safe to handle, display, and collect. The brass casing is marked with the distinctive "REM-UMC" headstamp, confirming its origin from the Union Metallic Cartridge Company. The markings remain crisp and clear, enhancing the round’s appeal as a historical artifact.
The INERT REM-UMC .26-20 round is an exceptional addition to any collection of vintage ammunition. Its connection to early 20th-century firearms and ammunition development makes it a valuable piece for collectors, firearm historians, or enthusiasts interested in the evolution of American sporting cartridges.
