Alright, I received the parts from numrich, none of them fit, lol. The action pins were way too small diameter, the trigger set screw was the wrong size, I didn’t even attempt the trigger spring screw replacement as the treads were wrong but I’m sure the parts could be modified in a pinch to work so...

Yeah, I measured everything wrong lol. I’ll try to get better measurements tonight. My parts should be here today but looks like most will be incorrect, lol.

So how are you supposed to measure the dove tail exactly? Is it from the top of the dove tail or bottom?

I’ll have to measure it again, it was done in haste so I might have been off. You measure from the breach of the barrel right?

Here’s an example of one but the mid sight was removed……

Yeah, if we had only know! I sold a lot of mine to help put myself through college and then later starting my family. I was wondering if you know what the standard dove tail size was on these rifles, if there was one. I measured mine at the narrowest part and seems like the front is close to 3/8”, d...

That sounds like a great rifle! I started collecting trapdoor Springfield’s with my father back in the 80’s, we never spent more than $275 on one, lol. He also picked up a Mexican marked Remington rolling block for me in 7mm for $75 if I recall. I was 11 or 12 and would mow lawns so I could afford t...

I missed a #1 sporting rifle in .45/70, it was in much better shape than this .44/77. the wood on mine has been heavily refinished and wouldn’t normally buy one this rough but it just spoke to me and I was very excited to be able to buy it. It is also very rare to come across a local big bore single...

I’m really into .43 Spanish and .44/77’s they are very old historical calibers and were pretty darn stout to boot. I like .50/70 just as much but it’s not as sexy as the .44/77, lol. .50/70 is super easy to get to shoot well and the cases last forever, which is good because they are almost impossibl...

That’s awesome, this rifle is a local North Dakota gun and sure looks like it has been shot and carried a ton. The metal edges are worn from use. The rifling is still very pronounced. This was a big buffalo hunting area. I have found piles of buffalo skulls and bones in the river when it has gotten ...

Mine is serial 3634, if I remember correctly, what would a good guess for date of manufacture? I know most of the records are gone. Mine definitely has the patent stamp on the left side but is hard to see due to wear and mottling and with the low resolution allowed on this site doesn’t help either, ...

I was wondering when rifles with the patent on the left side of the receiver started to appear? It is drilled and tapped for a tang sight, is this why they moved the patent stamp to the left side of the receiver? The barrel receiver and trigger plate all match on this gun. The gun also has a bone or...

I have an almost mint Remington made #1 in .43 Spanish/ .44-77 military rifle, it has a .446 groove, and the bore is like new. I also have an original model 1 sporting rifle in .44/77 and the chamber is almost identical but the bore is .453-.455. Rim and case dimensions, even the neck were almost th...

Hey guys first time poster here, I wanted to post some pics of an original #1 sporting rifle. First off the barrel is 26.5”, it’s marked .44 ctge s and chamber casts to .44/77 with a .455 bore that’s in pretty good shape. It has a slot for the rough and ready sight but it is missing. The set trigger...
