Looking for a Remington Rolling Block No.1 Sporter hammer with fly hole installed for single set trigger.

Looking for an exploded drawing/schematic and disassembly/assembly on a Remington Hepburn rifle. Thanks in advance.

Remington made Rolling Block No. 2's from the 1880's till somewhere around 1910 or 1913. My question is did Remington use so called " smokeless steel" on its' No. 2'safter 1896 until production ceased or did they continue to use soft steel/steel for BP?

Looks like a New York State National Guard Infantry Rifle. The SGR stands for " The Steuben Guard Regiment."

Quite possible you've seen the rifle. The gun dealer I purchased the rifle from got it at a gun show I believe in Oklahoma. Probably never know anything else about the rifle' owner but it obviously had special meaning to someone and now to me.

Roundtop. the " ST' on the receiver is closer to the front breech block pin hole on the receiver body and would be covered by the receiver button when assembled.

Looks like 1879 or 1880 is a good guess on my 45-70. This was still early enough to have been a buffalo gun. The rifle is far from being beat up. Who ever owned it took care of it but it has definelty been fired alot. .Dark barrel and some pitting but far from a sewer pipe. Most of the blue has a ru...

Ill try amd post a pic tomorrow. The plaque reads " From Stewart and James to Robert. Nov. 1879." If only rifles could talk, neat

Thanks Roundtop.I'll be interested in what others think. The total Rolling Block Sporters No.1 manufactured is suppose to be around 12,500 plus or minus. Most of these Rolling Blocks where supposedly manufactured up until 1886 when Remington went into receivership. During the remaing three years til...

All the serial numbers match in every location.

As usual, I was wrong. That's OK it's how you learn. It appears that many Rolling Blocks made in 1873 and up may well have spent considerable time either in storage at Remington or a hardware store etc. The culprit the financial " Panic of 1873" which didn't end until 1879. It affected bot...

I have a Rolling Block Sporter No.1 in 45-70 caliber with matching serial numbers and a set trigger appropriately marked on the barrell and the receiver with " ST" The serial number is 85XX. Any idea of a date of maufacture? Appreciate inputs.Thanks

I'm no expert but I find it hard to believe that a Rolling Block with a Silver Presentation Plaque was made in 1874 when it has a plaque is dated 1879. That is Five ( 5 ) years earlier then the plaque. The barrel, the tang and the forearm snabble all have the same serial number. If you are correct t...

It nevers ceases to frustrate me when you look at or purchase a No.1 Sporter with matching serial numbers and it it isn't even possible to determine the year of manufacture. Occasionally one gets a little information as to a manufacturing year. I have a 44-77 No. 1 Sporter with a silver plaque.No wa...

I love old Remington Rolling Blocks expecially No1. Sporters and am looking forward to learning from all the more expienced Remington members.My regards to all.
