What caused this design improvement is the original 1867 design without any firing pin retractor had a bad habit of becoming fouled with mostly powder fouling and rust and sticking in the extended position. The firing pin retractor pulls the firing pin back into the breechblock so that its not sticking out when the breechblock is closed. This is evidenced by that little funky thing on the top of the breechblock. And I can say this much, its not an 1867 model. Thanks for understanding the spirit of what I meant by, "tell me about Mausers".īecause the action lacks markings and I don't know if it has Remington patent markings on the top of the receiver tang but since you didn't show any and didn't mention any I'm going to ~assume~ there aren't any. I know a little bit about Remington rolling blocks, and Berdan rolling blocks, and Laidley rolling blocks and Geiger & Rider rolling blocks, also known as split breech. These below have been mine and about 25 others. No dessert if you don't supply the meat 'n' taters. You want to talk about Remington rolling blocks then give me something to go on. What markings are you trying to read?įYI - using the two words, "original restored", is an oxymoron. Even rifles with Remington receivers with Remington markings can be from Sweden or Egypt, Mexico or Spain. Rolling blocks, Remington and others, were made into the many millions and used by a huge number of countries. If I was to ask a question like, "tell me about Mauser rifles", how far would that get me? Details like the country that made it, markings, features, etc, are what's needed. When you ask about a rifle in a generic manner you can't expect much of an answer. This website is sorely out of date and has mistakes but it does have a lot of information if you know what you have to begin with. There are so many variations of Remington rolling blocks and licensed copies you're not going to find much in one place without knowning what you have to begin with.
