new guy with rolling block questions part 2 maybe three
I've carefully measured my last two (for now) rolling blocks. They are identical and both sport a fleur de lis on the left side barrel and the four sided flower on the opposite side. There is a stamping on the action which I can't make out. So unless I'm mistaken they would be either 43 spanish or r...

There is a small stamping on the left action but even under a magnifying lens i can't make out. Under the barrel is 7 perpendicular to the barrel on top of...

Re: Iding a Rolling Blcok
Thanks for the reply The two rollingblocks were cast and are the same so doubt if it was in the field stuff. Theyll chamber a 45 70 (lose) as well as a 43 spanish although rather then stepped like a spanish these are tapered from the area of the shoulder on a 43 spanish to the rifling It would have ...

Re: new guy with rolling block questions
The other two I was checking a bit closer. we cast them and they have a "tapered" neck (not like a spanish with an actual step, yet a 43 spanish will chamber and seems to fit nicely) Measures about 2.23 to where the force ring and chamber start Casting is smooth until 1.55 inch's then star...
