Antique REMINGTON M1871 ARMY ROLLING BLOCK Pistol .38 SPECIAL CONVERSION With Beautiful Tiger Maple Stock!
Description: Antique REMINGTON M1871 ARMY ROLLING BLOCK Pistol .38 SPECIAL CONVERSION With Beautiful Tiger Maple Stock! Here we present an antique Remington Model 1871 Army Rolling Block Pistol, (sometimes referred to as the Army and Navy Model), manufactured circa 1872-1888 in Ilion, New York. The gun was available in .50 centerfire, but could be special ordered in .22 rimfire. It is estimated that just over 6,000 were manufactured. This example has been converted to .38 Special and promises to be a nigh one-of-a-kind single shot target pistol. It features a lovely tiger-striped maple stock as well as windage adjustable target sights with white square on the front and outline on the rear. A bit of fine texturing (almost matte) has been added to the front and back straps, the breech block, the top of the chamber, and the muzzle under the front sight. The rolling block design was an evolution of the split breech carbine design of Leonard Geiger. Geiger’s intent was to design an arm using a metallic cartridge that could be cheaply and easily manufactured for use during the American Civil War. Remington manufactured about 20,000 split breech carbines in three different rimfire calibers, but most were delivered too late to be used in the war. These pistols were a strange selection for a martial pistol given the prevalence of revolvers by this time and the obvious drawbacks of single shot weapons. Nonetheless, they are powerful sidearms and are incredibly reliable, just like the Remington rolling block rifles. The overall condition is fine. Refinished, as described above. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The wood is in fine shape. This is a unique and beautiful target pistol you don’t want to miss! Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 8-3/4 inches. Caliber: .38 Special Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $2400 #230634 SOLD Antique: Yes |
