remington rolling block rifle serial numbers

Having that number 903 marked on the frame also gives it a special collectors flavor as well. The barrel, the tang and the forearm snabble all have the same serial number. Might also be a family rifle passed down or given to an employee. However a couple are known with both the 1874 tang stamp and the side stamp. Hello all -- I have a Rolling Block that my dad used to use as a wall-hangar ornament. I have not done a chamber cast. EdQuite possible you've seen the rifle. The easiest was to identify a Number 5 action without removing and measuring the barrel shank, is to look for the receiver radial relief cuts on either side of front of the breechblock. I have no intention to sell it, but is it particularly valuable? Say if you would, could sent a photo of those "squares" adjacent to the barrel bands? Looking at .43 Spanish ammo and it is quite spendy and the components are difficult to find.Ohhh....Please by no means have it re-barreled as far too many originals have already suffered this fate and like any other antique firearm, there are only so many left in existence. A generic inscription and without a last name almost impossible to track down. The culprit the financial " Panic of 1873" which didn't end until 1879. Only recently however it was discovered that Uruguay also applied a local serial number to their military RB rifles on the right frame ahead of the forward breechblock pin as yours. I recollect about 35 years ago when a gunsmith showed me a "sporterized" rolling block he re-blued, restocked, and re-barreled to .44-40 for a customer. EdIll try amd post a pic tomorrow.

Now I'd like to find out some stuff about it. It was either at a gun show or an auction.

As I recall, there were no serial numbers on Remington Rolling Block receivers. octagon barrel standard with round barrels available late in the series, smooth bore barrel was introduced approx. Remington's military customers did not require serial numbers on their deliveries. The rifle has a "B" stamped in the barrel just forward of the receiver, left hand side.

On each of the barrel bands on the right hand side there is a small square stamped. So stuff does happen as they say. Your 1400 ser. Lower tangs were production marked from 1 to 10,000 and then the numbering sequence was repeated.

If you could show a picture of the plaque someone might have some knowledge of the persons involved. The Number 3 was the Reminghton-Hepburn, a dropping block target rifle, not a rolling block. Would any other pictures be helpful?My pleasure, happy to be of any help. Your low 3000 ser number would likely have been made in 1874. It nevers ceases to frustrate me when you look at or purchase a No.1 Sporter with matching serial numbers and it it isn't even possible to determine the year of manufacture.

The Remington model 4 rolling block rifle was made between 1890-1933.If you have a model 4S military rifle,then these were made by Remington from 1913-1923.your rifle has either a 22.5in barrel,or a 24in barrel.These were chambered in .22,.25 Stevens,or 32 caliber.

You can obtain .43 Spanish brass and .375 grain .439 diameter cast bullets from Buffalo Arms who have a website and you can even load your own with Pyrodex or black powder by improvisation, with simple tools and even thumb press or breech seat your bullets, especially after losing neck tension at the mouth. 1879." Thanks so much.Turns out that (a) the barrel bands are secured at the joint under the barrel where they "bend" together, and (b) the squares on the barrel bands are actually "U"s as close as I can tell.Thank you for the photos...I kind of thought there were actually "U's" on the bands, but no I still stick with my thoughts on this one....condition wise it still looks similar to those in the Uruguayan fort museum, of course the numbers are different.Thanks, and that's the most help and certainty that I could expect. I noted the words EM.L Nagant on the left frame and the familiar looking serial markings and prefix on the right frame which urged me to ask if I could look at the barrel and the other "discarded" parts.
