In the autumn of 1816, Eliphalet Remington entered a shooting match with his new flintlock rifle, and while he only finished second, his handmade rifle was a success.  Orders for the new Remington-made rifles and barrels began to accumulate from the many other contestants, and before Eliphalet left the shooting field, he was in the gun business.
