The Number 3 was the Reminghton-Hepburn, a dropping block target rifle, not a rolling block. 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. A black powder Number 1 action will have them, but the Number 5 ...
7x57 RB. Howdy Rem farmer. No one here said about slugging the barrel. I have had 2 of these Mexican 7mm Rolling blocks. Here is what I did to get them to shoot Slug the bore ,it came out .3075,fire formed 7x57 Mauser brass put a .309 cast bullet on top of light charge of 3031IMR.
To the best of my knowledge (I collect old Remington Rolling Block rifles), it is not practicable to re-bore a .43 Spanish rolling Block barrel to .45-70. The new bore dimensions for .45-70 (.450" bore, .458" groove) will not clean up an old and corroded .43 Spanish bore (.436" groove). Further, the old .43 Spanish used a larger firing pin ...
All Remington-produced military rolling block barrels were 12-tpi square threads, but they came in two standard diameters, the smaller one for blackpowder (No. 1) actions, and the larger one for smokeless (No. 5) rifle and shotgun actions. The Danish and Swedish actions I've rebarreled were standard blackpowder 12-tps square threads.
Two in 7x57, one in 22 rim, two are Argentine 1879 versions of 43 Spanish, one in the original 43 Spanish Refomatio (spelling) taper case and the other is an arsenal refinish 21" carbine in 43 Spanish bottle neck case. One 7x57 is a 1897 #1 BP action and the other is a 1902 smokeless #5 action. The two 43s are both BP #1 actions.
I posted a while back about buying both the gun, 1873 Remington Rolling Block (Navy Arms Pedersoli repro) and period correct 18" 3x Brass Scope (Tasco repro), finally got these (2) married up and hoping they shoot as pretty as they look. Had the gunsmith make up (2) custom mounting blocks out of brass and installed a new firing pin and ...
rolling block serial number. JCP, I just removed the buttstocks of four number 5 Rolling Blocks I had access to, and they all carried the "batch" numbers on the side of the upper and lower tangs. One had a "379" number, and the others had 4-digit numbers. All carried the three-line Remington tang markings with the last patent date of March 16 ...
The Remington Rolling Block .43 Spanish. The September 2004 issue of The Accurate Rifle (sister publication to Precision Shooting) is replete with an article, spread over nine pages, about the Remington Rolling Block in .43 Spanish. Discussed are brass from .348 Winchester, bullets, lubes and loading with black powder....
In the Speer #10 reloading manual, it states that: "The Saami pressure limit for the 7 x 57 is 46000 cup. These loads are limited to 50000 cup for use in modern bolt action rifles only. The bottom load with each powder should be considered absolute maximum if the cartridges are to be fired in early military rifles like the Mauser Models 1892 ...
215 posts · Joined 2003. #1 · Jan 4, 2021. I'm looking for a little advice on picking a rear tang sight for a Numrich Arms 45-70 Buffalo which uses a Remington #1 rolling block action. I think these were kits that Numrich sold and this one was one that someone never finished and that I actually had to deepen the chamber for a cartridge to ...
