Beware of scammers.

This rolling block followed me home a few weeks ago. I assume it is a #5. It’s chambered in 7mm and the receiver, barrel and what remains of the stock are in pretty decent condition. I’ve shot about 25 rounds through it with no drama, however I can’t hit the broad side of a barn with it. I can’t seem ...

Hello. I recently picked up a Remington Rolling Block in 7mm Mauser. I have many questions but I’ll post those separately. Thanks for having me!

What little I know of the 7mm Mauser chambering, is that headspace is “generous”.
I have no knowledge of the RB handguns.
If possible, I suggest you acquire a copy of Norm Fladermans’ “Guide to Antique American Firearms” . . . and see particularly description #9A-397 (Navy) and #9A-399 (Army).

... 30-S was made and in each caliber: 30-SL, 30-SR, 30-SM, and 30-SX in .30-06, .257 Roberts, 7mm Mauser, and .25 Rem. I suppose those records were lost long ago.

I've never seen a 30-SM with the Marbles Goss sight, does anyone here have one? Adding 30SR, 30SL, 30SX, and 30SM for searches. Pictures of ...

I have a 40-x with a barrel code KQ and SN 063111 B. Barrel is light weight sporter rather than heavy target. Stock is HS Precision. Does that SN match the time range of the barrel? Any way to tell if it's an original configuration?

Darn I figured someone would have a general idea where the SN would ...

... if at all-was my first 350RM. I snap up older odd 700s as well. 2 in a 7mm like you but the 7mm-06Rem. Nothing in the 600 series w/16.5" barrel. Can't say I've ever heard of such an animal.

I recently acquired a Remington 700 in 7mm Remington Magnum built in the Remington Custom Shop in 1994, complete with original paperwork and never fired. I was looking for information on reduced loads for 7mm Mag, and found that Hornady offers Custom Lite ammunition in 7mm Mag and other calibers. I ...

I recently received a Model 700 in 7mm Rem Mag from my Father-In-Law, and am trying to date it. All the dating schemes I've seen point out a two character date code on the barrel. This rifle has a four character code on the left side of the barrel: "D A", followed by an "N G" which are not quite in ...

I know it is an old thread, but after 44 years I actually had a REAL problem with my 700 in 7mm Express. Now that I am older I don't burn up the ammo like I used to so most of my large caliber rifles sit in the cabinet for 10 months out of the year. I was set on my rounds after my handload session ...

I ordered one of these 7mm Express BDL 700's in 1980 or I should say my Dad ordered it and I paid for it with money I earned bailing hay at $1/hr. I ... the magazines that said '&mm Express. It bridges the gap between the 30-06 and the 7mm mag. The only thing about the gun that disappointed me was ...

Thanks for your response Mr. Farley! Very interesting information on the history of this RB in 7mm.
On a side note, have you ever striped the RB down for a thorough cleaning? Any issues I should be aware of in taking this old RB apart and putting back together? Or, should I just leave as is?
Thanks

Hi. I have two of these RB's in 7mm, both 1901, and neither has a serial #. I don't think they were serialized but I really haven't spent much time researching it. From what I did find it seems Remington screwed up making these and had bookoo unsold to the military market and they were sold as forager ...

... maybe a scope and mounts. I am personally partial to Meopta scopes but maybe something more traditional?
My Remingtons are an old rolling block in 7mm passed down through the family.
A 798 Remington, 783 , 770 that I could not pass up it was very cheap and new. And a Marlin 336 that I bought ...

The breach looks like the caliber might be larger than normal. These
were made in early smokeless small calibers (like 7mm Mauser) and
yours looks like it is larger than that. Do you know what caliber it is?
Also, it looks like it takes a rimmed cartridge. Is it by ...
