WOW! I too sure would like some enlightenment on this one. Plus, the S S Trigger is awesome, is 46 a rimfire or one of the obscure cartridges?

Here is a copy of a post that I placed in the pre-1899 section, under topic "Activity, or the lack thereof".
If I started a new post there might have been a reply.

I have a question regarding a sporting Rolling Block.
A friend of mine just purchased an unusual one from Rock Island Auction.

He doesn't have a computer, so asked me if I could help explain the use of "Remingtons"
rather than "E. Remington & Sons" on this rifle. We know some O/U Derringers were marked this way, but in the late 1860's. With the last patent marking of 1874 it would have had to be later.
We discussed the time frame when it might have been produced. Was it before, during, or after the reorganization?
His thinking is it was made in the late 1870's or early '80's.
If I remember correctly, it is 44 rim fire.

I'm confused....where did the .46 RF come from?

If you enlarge the photo showing the bottom of the barrel it is stamped 46 CTG'E the bottom part if
the 6 is a little larger then your standard 6 making it look like 40 and not 46.

Have a Good Day,

Definately a '6'.
