A TRUE VERY EARLY REMINGTON
BUFFALO RIFLE
Description: A TRUE VERY EARLY REMINGTON BUFFALO RIFLE! HEAVY NO. 1 ROLLING BLOCK SPORTING RIFLE WITH 30" OCTAGON BARREL LARGER DIAMETER THAN THE RECEIVER! ALL MATCHING SERIAL NUMBER 1XXX, bottom of the barrel marked "44 CTGE S" ( the "S" is for Sharps), either a .44-77 or .44-90 caliber, forend, barrel and butt plate all have the same matching number (I think I was the first to pull the butt plate as it was thick with rust inside- which I removed with oil and rubbing to reveal the matching number), barrel measured about 1.1" at the muzzle and the rifle weighs about 11 1/2 lbs- extremely heavy for a Rolling Block sporter, uncleaned barrel blue is aged and mixing brown, mottled silver/brown receiver shows a hint of case color around the pins on the left side, Remington markings on the tang, tight action with surprisingly fine+ bore- deep rifling and any roughness is minor and scattered, no rear barrel sight in the original dovetail, Beach combination folding globe front sight, obviously had a tang sight on at one time as it is now removed with the mounting screws left in place, generally fine+ wood showing normal light handling with the beginnings of an age crack coming back from the upper tang for an inch or so that you have to look carefully to detect-all solid and tight with exc. wood to metal fit, these Buffalo Rolling Blocks with barrels larger than the receiver are exceptionally rare (more rare than Sharps), and this is a very fine one that is early and all matching. SOLD Antique: Yes Manufacturer: REMINGTON Model: Rolling Block No.1 Sporter Serial Number: 1XXX Caliber Info: 44 S Center Fire Condition: fine Barrels: 30" heavy oct. |
