REMINGTON NO 1 ROLLING BLOCK LONG-RANGE CREEDMOOR TARGET RIFLE. SN 4393. Cal. 44-77 Sharps. Beautiful long-range rolling block with 34″ med weight oct to rnd bbl that has windgauge, spirit level front sight, no provision for a rear sight & thick tang sight base containing a 5-1/2″ vernier staff with a matching base at the heel of the stock. Top flat of bbl has the Remington name and address with a tiny “40” over the chamber. Bottom flat of the bbl, under the forearm is marked with the SN and had the caliber marking on the bottom above the forearm. It is mounted with very nicely figured slab sawed American walnut with long, round, tapered unchecked forearm with steel schnable tip & shoulders at the rear end. The butt stock has a checkered pistol grip with raised side panels & triangle horn insert in the serpentine grip cap & has a smooth steel Remington buttplate. The SN was observed in the usual place on the bottom tang, bottom flat of bbl, rear face of forearm, front face of butt stock and inside the buttplate. Also, the left side of the bottom tang bears the number “28720”, no indication as to the meaning of this number.

Hammer & breech block retain thin, original factory finish. Stock has a dark chemical streak down the right side, otherwise the wood is sound with a few minor handling & storage nicks and scratches and retains virtually all of its original factory finish.
