Re: New Guy and SURPRISE! I have a "ID my RB" question
Here is a photo of the 1871 Patent date stamped on the lower tang of my rifle. Sorry for the poor quality of the photo it was taken about 15 years ago. I will try to take a better photo in the up coming days. It reads PATD AUG 27th 1867 NOV 7th 1871 NYS3a.jpg Have a Good Day, Matt Nothing on mine. ...

Re: New Guy and SURPRISE! I have a "ID my RB" question
Sadly,. O such markings on mine. Went to a gun show today and a RB expert had no guess, but he pointed me at another guy who might know.
I am now on a mission to figure out this gun's history.

Re: New Guy and SURPRISE! I have a "ID my RB" question
Thanks for the info. I did disassemble the gun last night. I did not take enough pictures. Under the rear barrel band (I am sure that isn't the right term), there is a mark. I want to say a "P". There is also another mark, RPP or RBP or something to that affect. I will look for it tonight ...

Re: New Guy and SURPRISE! I have a "ID my RB" question
One more item of detail.
The cleaning rod screws into a flat plate in the action. The flat plate kind of floats in two grooves.

New Guy and SURPRISE! I have a "ID my RB" question
I have a friend, whose Father In Law passed. He had a lot of firearms and my friend sold most of them to a dealer. A few wall hangers came back for being non functional, one of them a Remington RB. I am trying to ID it for him, and this forum is one I came across with the best chance. I will tell yo...
