Re: Rolling Block Sporter project

Nice rifle. Great job. I really like the look of a round top action with an octagon barrel.

Re: Early round top Sporting Rifle

I really like the early round tops. Thanks Marlinman93 and Matt for sharing. Looks like Marlinman93's rifle had its breech block changed. Maybe to convert to centerfire?

Re: Slotterbeck Remington?

Seller also states the sighting cut on top of the receiver was a Slotterbeck addition, looks like a Remington shotgun receiver top to me.

Re: Remington mold

Great find. I've always wanted an original mold for my Remington 44s. Any idea if it was made by Remington? Nice work on the sprue plate.

Hi John, Merz Antique Firearms has a couple of Remington Long Range Rifles on their website www.merzantique.com. Maybe you could contact them, I bet they will take some measurements for you.

Re: Could this be Col. Bodine's Remington Creedmoor rifle ?

JoJoDo,

Do you have a copy of Roy Marcots book "Remington Rolling Block Rifles, Carbines & Shotguns, Sporting & Target Rifles"?

The rifle on page 173 looks like yours.

Re: Another ID Please

Your rifle is a #1 sporting rifle not a #1 1/2. The easiest way to tell the difference is the #1 has the sliding extractor with a limit screw on the left side of the action like the one in your photo. The model 1 1/2 has a rotary extractor with no screw.
