Hello, I have just bought this Swiss Rolling-Block. I think that the barrel is not of origin Remington. The breechblock its for the Swiss ammunition in .41 RF or CF. http://zupimages.net/up/14/41/12yx.jpg http://zupimages.net/up/14/41/gzfy.jpg http://zupimages.net/up/14/41/hpdg.jpg http://zupimages....

Hello Ed,
I know this Saber Bayonet built in january 1871 at Chatellerault, the internal diameter of the ring is 18 mm. It is an emergency product during the FP war
Philippe

I received my cartridge in .43 Spanish. It was made in Sevilla in 1881




It is almost similar to Russian, both are well in my rifle.

It is impossible to fit a saber bayonet Chassepot on a RRB. The barrel of the Chassepot is 17,5 mm one diameter, Remington is 18 mm.
