It is a New York State Model. New York continued to buy rifles from Remington well into the 1890's. I have one rifle in my collection that is maked with the address Remington Arms Company which was made after the 1880's. The rear sight on your gun was modified for Regional target shooting and for shooting at the Creedmoor Range.

Have A Good Day,

Hello Dave,
I am trying to type this on my cell phone so I will be a little short will give you more information when I get home and have access to my computer. The rear sight was modified in the 1880's. Also that is when the target shoots were. Creedmoor was located on Long Island and was used for State and National shoots out to 1000 yards. Most of the State shooting was done at 200 300 and 500 yards. You can buy ammo at Buffalo Arms for $61.00
