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...

Re: Iding a Rolling Blcok

As far as the barrel goes it has the fleur de lis on the left side by the action on the right is the 4 sided flower? I've seen mentioned before. 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
