History and formation of UMC:  Brigham Payne, a long
time employee and investor of Crittendon and Tibbals, was engaged to manage this said company. On September 29, 1865 Payne sold his interest in the company to Schuyler. Schuyler and associates then purchased land in Bridgeport from P.T. Barnum as well as purchased the C.D. Leet Company of Springfield, Massachusetts. They
built a new factory in Bridgeport and named it the Union Metallic Cartridge & Cap Co., which became fully functional in 1867. In 1912 the Union Metallic Cartridge Company and The Remington Arms Company were combined to one company in Bridgeport called Remington U.M.C and the headstamp was changed to Rem-UMC and used until 1960. Became the modern Remington Arms Co.
