SCARCE REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK NO. 1 MID-RANGE TARGET RIFLE.

SCARCE REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK NO. 1 MID-RANGE TARGET RIFLE. SN 6125. Cal. 40-50 Sharps Bottleneck. Beautiful mid-range rifle with 28-1/4″ medium weight oct to rnd bbl with Winchester-style windgage Globe front sight, no provision for a rear sight and standard tang sight with 5-3/8″ staff graduated to about 400 yards. Top flat of bbl has the standard Remington Ilion, New York address. It is fitted with a sgl set trigger. Rifle is mounted with straight grain American walnut with uncheckered smooth forearm that has a case colored metal schnable tip and checkered straight grip with crescent German silver buttplate. Left side of receiver is marked with various patent dates. Bottom of trigger plate, in front of trigger bow, is drilled & tapped for a large diameter screw, probably for a palm rest. Accompanied by a small ivory screw-top bits box containing a lacquered tin which contains spare inserts for the front sight. Although these rifles were produced in fairly large quantities and in a great variety of configurations and calibers they are rarely found with high orig finish as they were shooters’ rifles and saw extensive use. They are rarely found in orig configuration, shooters usually altered their rifles to suit themselves for perceived better conformation & accuracy. CONDITION: Very fine plus. Bbl retains about 98% glossy orig factory blue with a few pin prick spots of discoloration. Receiver, trigger guard & lower tang retain virtually all of their case colors, strong & bright in sheltered areas, lightly to moderately faded elsewhere. Breech block & hammer retain virtually all of their brilliant high polish blue. Wood is sound with a few minor handling & storage nicks & scratches and retains most of a lightly applied over-finish. Buttplate has a casting flaw in the tang along with several pin prick blow holes, otherwise is sound. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-42691 JR153 (5,000-7,000)
