Not much is known about the “Zouave” Remington model, starting from the name. Actually there were units in the Civil
War who called themselves Zouaves (the original “Zouaves” were French troops recruited in North Africa), but there’s no
evidence the Zouave Rifle was issued to Zouave units. They were excellent rifles, but for some reason they were never used
during the war, or at least there isn’t evidence they were - they just remained in storage, so the surviving examples remained
in very good condition and were sold after the war to civilian owners.
Nevertheless it is perhaps the most beautiful crafted military rifle ever made, and this is probably why the gun became as a
replica the most famous CW rifle. The Zouave is the first musket replica ever made, when production started in Italy in the
late ‘60 and early ‘70s. Armi Sport started the production of its Zouave model in 1968, and offers today 5 different versions: a
carbine and a rifle, each available with 3 grooves or in the smoothbore version. The 7- groove “Match” version is our “feather
in the cap”. Armi Sport is the only manufacturer producing the 7 grooves rifling, as was the original bore. Our replica is
thoroughly faithful to the original, except for the satin finish of the barrel, to minimize light reflection. This Zouave Match
model was developed in cooperation with three Italian champion shooters and the result of this team work was… two gold
medals and one silver medal at the World Championship in Adelaide, Australia, in August 2008.
