Re: No 1 Rolling Block Light Baby Carbine

Wow! VERY difficult to find any like mine for sale. Seems to be only a few out there for sale and they are overpriced, and have "problems", like a poorly fitting stock...

Re: No 1 Rolling Block Light Baby Carbine

Does mine have a sporting or military type of buttplate? If military, then it's not a "true' baby carbine? If so, then what is it?

Any idea as to value? I might trade this towards something else.

Re: No 1 Rolling Block Light Baby Carbine

Note that the "Baby Carbine" was based on the 1-1/2 frame size. Flayderman has this listed in the No 1 frame section of his book, not the 1 1/2 section. Is this an error in his book? Any ideas as to value, as I do plan on keeping it for awhile, but may wish to trade towards a Winchester, ...

Re: No 1 1/2 Rolling Block Light Baby Carbine

And some photographs.

I am not as familiar with Remington as compared to Colt and Winchester. Having said that, I suspect the nickel is not original to the firearm. Note weak lettering on tang with nickel finish within. Suggests wear to lettering and then application of nickel???

Thoughts?

Value?

No 1 Rolling Block Light Baby Carbine

The 7th Edition of Flayderman's (page 154) states these were made circa 1892 to 1902. (Can anybody pinpoint further, and any ways to distinguish if produced later or earlier, e.g., definitively pre-1899, or not)? But, the real reason for this post: Flayderman states the following: "Blued barrel...

Re: Remington 1901 Rolling Block Target Pistol

For something with very little interest, the one at James Julia brought a healthy price! Obviously, at least some interest out there...

Re: Remington 1901 Rolling Block Target Pistol

With all due respect...why is this forum DEAD? Is there that little interest in Remington firearms??? I am on a Smith & Wesson forum, Colt forum, and Winchester forum, and, within 24 hours, a post would receive at least a few responses, if not significantly more! Is there that little interest in...

Re: Remington 1901 Rolling Block Target Pistol

There were some nice 1891 & 1901 Remington Target Rolling Block pistols in the James Julia Auction today. Does anyone know what they went for? As well as some of the other rare Remingtons?

Remington 1901 Rolling Block Target Pistol

This is for sale and I don't quite know what a fair value is, retail and wholesale. These photos were originally posted under the Remington pre-1899 section as I was unsure if it was an 1891 or 1901 at that time. Only 735 or so produced, but reasonably priced in Flayderman's, surprisingly enough. I ...

Re: Remington 1891 & 1901 Target Rolling Block Pistols

Thank you, Eskilgh, for your help.

Okay, here are pictures of this firearm? What is a fair price to pay for it? It might be priced too high for my liking, but what might be a good wholesale and retail price for it? Any other thoughts regarding this firearm?
