Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your replies.

PM sent.

Daniel, Again, thanks for your informative reply. It does answer my questions I have been in touch with the RCMP technical division in regards to importing a Remington Rolling Block Pistol as a Prescribed Antique Firearm, which here in Canada must be manufactured prior to 1898 to be classed as an an...

Daniel, Thank you for your very informative reply. It is much appreciated. You wrote "the commercial models never had any inspectors marks because they weren't for the US, and thus can't be dated." How does the presence of the "P" and "S" inspector marks date the rollin...

Does anybody know if, and can provide a reference that states that the frames of the Remington Rolling Block Pistol frames of the Model 1871, Model 1891, or Model 1901 were only manufactured by E. Remington & Sons? Does anybody know if and can provide a reference that states that the pistol fram...

Thank you for your reply. It is appreciated.

I have noticed that cracked hinges are fairly common in this model.

What is the likely cause of the hinge cracking?

How much is the value affected by a cracked hinge?

Bill,

One again, thanks for your reply. Your information is much appreciated.

Were the Model 1891 And Model 1901 Rolling Block Target Pistols made with frames that were manufactured prior to 1898?

Were any Model 1891 Target pistols produced in 44 S&W or was this chambering only available only in the Model 1901?

I think most people just look and don’t respond. I posted a question about No.1 Sporting Rifle barrel sights: 630 views, 1 reply.

Perhaps most of the expertise and interest in Rolling Blocks is in the military models and not the sporting rifles.

buckeyebill, Thank you for your reply. I know exactly which version of the Remington Rolling Block rifles I have. They are civilian sporting rifles marked E.Remington & Sons on the barrel. The sights are mounted in dovetails in the barrel. There are no screws in either the front or rear sights. ...

Is there a standard dovetail size for the front and rear barrel sights on Rolling Block sporting rifles, and are they the same?

Is there a standard distance from the front end of the barrel to the front sight dovetail?

Thank you for your consideration.

Bradford

In Roy Marcot's book, Remington Rolling Block Rifles, Carbines, & Shotguns SPORTING & TARGET RIFLES, on page 174 there is a Remington No 1 Creedmoor Long Range Rifle pictured with a Robbins Patent Vernier Tang Sight. On pages 190-191 there is a Remington No 1 Short Range Rifle pictured with ...
