This gun has one of the early receivers before Remington started to stamp them with the 1871 patent dates. All of the New York State rolling block rifles were made with 36" barrels and they had 3 barrel bands on the forearm. Your rifle barrel and forearm have been cut down sometime after they w...

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

Here are 2 more photos of the 2 piece trigger guard. I don't know how it is attached to the bottom tang, there are no posts from the trigger guard going up through the tang to secure it in place.

Hello Marlinman93,

Yes it has the longer lower tang with the extra wood screw as found on most sporting rifle.
I don't think that they made to many with the 2 piece trigger guard. Maybe Remington was trying out a new design that didn't work out.

I would like to thank Dick and Ed for the response to my question about sling bar. It looks like I will be looking for one from the Sharps carbine.
