Re: Remington Lee 45/70 Model 1885 Navy Rifle
I used a photograph of the crew from USS PHILADELPHIA doing a Box Drill in Honolulu in an exhibit about shipboard arms for USS OLYMPIA. I dont recall the exact number, but OLYMPIA had in her stores what were described as ".45 magazine rifles" and ".45 ball ammunition " when she sailed for the Orient ...

Double Set Triggers on Rolling Block
Does anyone know who made these double set triggers? They're on an Argentine rifle. I know Bob Roller used to make DST for rollers, but have never seen an example.

Re: Remington Hepburn
Recently picked up this No 3 Hepburn. It is a .40-90. It left the factory as a shorter case and the caliber is overstamped. What is really neat is that it has BROWNING BROS OGDEN UT stamped on top barrel flat. Not sure if they were the retailers or did the conversion.

Lee Arms Model 1879
I picked this 1879 Lee Arms magazine rifle up in an online auction. Photos were bad, but price was good and description made me take a shot. Upon arrival, I discovered that it had a Frankenstein bolt poorly fashioned from a .303 Enfield. Chucked it in the trash. Next, the magazine, which are rare ...

Rear Sight for NYS Rolling Block Carbine
Looking for photos to help me replicate sight parts for this NYS rolling block carbine. In Layman's book it is referred to as a Dexter sight. Carbines issued to Artillery and Signal corps.

Gove Conversion Rifle
I just purchased a Gemmer-style rolling block with a Gove conversion to underlever. Have not received rifle yet, but am pretty sure it is not original. Any idea who might have done the work? Seller did not know.

Re: Remington's Children
I have shot all except the ESKILSTUNA 20 gauge and the 10.25x69R. Sold former and need an expander die for latter. I also sold the Number 27.

Re: New York contract rifle unknown caliber
These were also made in .45-70 for other state militias, IIRC.

Remington's Children
Just a little bored today, so I thought I would post some photos of my collection of European commercial rolling blocks.
Top is a Husqvarna Number 27 in 500/450 BPE. The Middle is a Husqvarna Number 4 in 20 gauge rifle. And bottom is a Number 1 in 12.7x44R.
Will post others, as only three photos ...

Re: Addicted to Military Rolling Blocks
At least I didn't see one of these in your collection.
Swedish 1870 Cavelry Carbine in 12.7X44R converted from rimfire. Made in 1877 by Carl Gustav.
Excuse the image quality.
It was one of these that started me down the road of rolling block addiction. Do not have it anymore, as I decided to ...
