Wikipedia:Peer review/Remington M1867/archive1

Self-nomination. Want to make this article as good as possible - all sort of comments on how to do this welcome WegianWarrior 3 July 2005 14:00 (UTC)

Good detail on what you've covered so far, but I think the article should include detail of which battles/wars the rifle was deployed in, and if possible how successful it the weapon was, perhaps how reliable it was on the battlefield too. I'm not sure what this sentence means:"Further testing including use by untrained troops made the Peabody and the Remington suitable for use". What exactly do you mean by "use made the Peabody and the Remington suitable for use". Do you mean that further testing on a firing range proved that the rifles fired accurately enough for military use for example? Also, were the rifles manufactered in the US? It says the design was American, but is it possible to find out which company assembled the rifle. Deus Ex
- Luckily, Norway didn't go to war in the period the M1867 was in use. I've rewritten the sentence you mentioned - it seems like something got messed up at one point.. might have been me, might have been another editor. At least it should be better now. The Remington was American (or rather, US-ian =) ) in design, but all production rifles was manufactured in Norway and Sweden - I've updated the page to show this too. I'll see if I can't find more info on how reliable it was - my main source (the book mentioned in the reference section) is somewhere else at the moment, but I'll dig around.
