As I mentioned earlier, the closest I've found so farmarlinman93 wrote: ↑Sat Mar 09, 2024 5:12 pm I think George Layman mentions those in his book, The Collector's Guide to Remington RB Military Rifles of the World. He refers to them as a "1 1/2 Action", but obviously they pre date the #1 1/2 and are round top actions just a bit narrower than the #1 actions.
I think they fall into their own classification as the "Civil Guard" and another model of interest.
is the one in that book on page 173.
You say they pre-date the #1-1/2. When was the #1-1/2 made?
