Beware of scammers.

With the exception of length it matches closely to 11.43 Egyptian, but length is closer to .43 Spanish Reformado. I wonder if it started life as the Egyptian and someone ran a .44-77 BN reamer in to open up the length?

Where is this number stamped on the receiver? A picture of the complete receiver from a couple angles will help identify what it may have come from. And other markings besides the number also might help.

Have you tried a simple image search? I got this in a quick search just now:

I only collect Remington Sporting Rifles in Rolling Block and Hepburn models. Early Rolling Block Sporting Rifles have always been extremely tough to find as Remington directed almost all of their efforts towards filling government contracts all over the world. I own just one Rolling Block Sporter ...

Thanks to whoever finally got this forum back up and running! I've been checking daily and sent messages to people telling them the forum was down. Glad to see it back up again!

Are you sure the "brass" parts are really brass? Have you held a magnet to those parts to see if it sticks? I've never heard of those parts ever being brass, and if they were they'd never withstand the pressures of firing any rifle cartridge. My guess is someone removed those parts and plated them ...

Yes, a tig weld is the way I do them. Be sure not to cool the welds with a wet rag after welding or they can harden the metal. Let it air cool and then you can polish or file off the welds.
I've had hammers, breech blocks, and actions all tig welded on before and no problems at all.

I believe Carlos Gove's Denver Armory shop also made DST adaptations on Rolling Blocks in the late 1800's. Have you got a copy of Roy Marcot's Rolling Block Sporting rifle book?

Just received 158 pcs. of BACO brass stretched from .348 Win. from a private party. Of course in typical USPS fashion it took a tour of the whole country, and after almost 3 weeks finally made it here!
I removed the Lyman tang sight and discovered the base screws were one size to small, and finer ...

Anything Browning Bros. marked will get a premium of some sort. I had a friend offer me an H&R .22 Special model pistol that was like new from the 1920's. I really wasn't interested until he told me it was purchased new at the Browning Bros shop in Ogden. I looked it over and no stamp on the gun ...

They were most likely the retailers as they marked almost every gun sold from their shop this way. Not sure if they would have stamped their name on the barrel for simply rechambering it or not, but suspect they wouldn't.

Took my new Hepburn out to our gun club on Tuesday maintenance day to show a couple friends. There were over a dozen guys there in the morning for work day, and beyond my two friends not a single person knew what it was. Several asked if it was a Sharps, and one asked if it was a falling block; at ...

Thanks.
My pocket Canon Power Shot has little illuminated boxes that supposedly focus when I push the shutter button halfway down to tell me it's focused. But for whatever reason I can still mess it up.

Congratulations on your recent acquisition! It looks really nice.

The only criticism I have is the blurry pics.

Cheers!

Sorry. My picture taking always seems to be lacking. Fortunately the Hepburn is nicer than my photography!

My collection of Hepburn rifles just grew by one more yesterday when another arrived via the brown truck. A Hepburn in a rare .45 2 7/8" showed up on another site and I was lucky to see it first and grab it. The .45 2 7/8" is also referred to as the .45-110 Sharps, and was a powerful cartridge ...
