RARE REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK NO. 1 LONG RANGE CREEDMOOR SINGLE SHOT TARGET RIFLE.

RARE REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK NO. 1 LONG RANGE CREEDMOOR SINGLE SHOT TARGET RIFLE. SN 6183. Cal. 44-100 Sharps Bottleneck. Rare rifle with only a few hundred produced in the period 1873-1890. Rifle has a 33-1/4″ oct to rnd bbl that may have been reduced from 34″. It has a half nickel front sight, no rear seat and a long range vernier tang sight with 5-1/2″ staff. Mounted with uncheckered slab-sawed American walnut with typical Remington forearm that has a semi-schnable metal tip and straight stock with smooth steel buttplate. Heel of stock is mounted with a base for the long range vernier. Top flat of bbl has the Remington company name & address with standard markings on left side of receiver. SN is found on bottom tang, bottom flat of bbl, faintly on rear face of forearm, front face of buttstock & inside toe of buttplate. These 19th century target rifles were generally used hard and frequently are found altered to the individual shooter’s specifications in order to improve accuracy. It is probable that the orig muzzle of the bbl was damaged and the bbl was then slightly reduced to improve accuracy. CONDITION: Very fine, as noted. Bbl retains about 95% strong orig blue with some thinning around the muzzle; receiver retains strong case colors in sheltered areas, moderately faded elsewhere, turned silver on bottom of rcvr & bottom tang; forearm has a chip on bottom at the receiver, otherwise wood is sound with a few light nicks & scratches and retains a very old restored finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore. 4-45132 JR354 (4,000-6,000)
