*SCARCE REMINGTON MODEL 7 ROLLING BLOCK SINGLE SHOT RIFLE.

SN 300303. Cal 22 LR. Unusual little rifle built on a Model 1871 rolling block pistol action. It has 26-1/2″ oct to rnd bbl with gold washed Beach’s combination front sight, no provision for a rear sight and has its orig unusual Lyman combination tang sight mortised into the hump behind the hammer. Bottom flat of bbl, under the forearm is marked with last three digits of matching SN and caliber. Caliber marking is also found on bottom of bbl forward of the forearm. Rear face of forearm, on the frame extension is also marked with last three digits of matching SN. No additional disassembly was effected to check for other matching numbers. Frame has the usual 2-line markings with “P” & “S” proofs. Mounted with very nicely figured American walnut with long, tapered, checkered, black insert, Schnable tip forearm and a most unusual capped pistol grip stock that has Remington trademark embossed hard rubber buttplate. There were only about 500 of these rare little rifles produced 1903-1906 in three different calibers and three different bbl lengths. These rifles were apparently not well received by the buying public which resulted in the very limited production, as noted. They were considered to be boys or ladies rifles and usually saw hard service with limited maintenance and are rarely found today with orig finish. PROVENANCE: The Elliot Burka Estate Collection. CONDITION: Very fine, all matching as noted above. Bbl retains about all of its satin blue finish possibly an old restoration. Frame retains brilliant case colors and most of its orig lacquer. Breech block & hammer pins retain about all of their bright straw colors and the pin keeper retains brilliant fire blue. Breech block & hammer retain about all of their orig factory blue as does the checkered trigger. Top tang retains brilliant case colors near the front, faded toward the rear. Bottom tang & trigger bow retain faded case colors being mostly faded to silver. Stock has three small scratches by the buttplate with some minor chips in the finish and overall retains about all of its orig varnish with some light, fine heat crazing on the buttstock. Mechanics are crisp; bright shiny bore. 4-56454 JR200 (6,000-10,000) – Lot 1177
