Description:
#4683 Remington No.1 Sporting Rifle, rolling block action, 8XXX serial range (probably manufactured in the mid to late 1870s which would correspond to the huge Buffalo hunts of that time) and having a massive 1-1/4” across the flats 28” long octagonal barrel chambered for the 40/70 Sharps bottle neck (SBN) caliber, which was one of the most popular calibers of the 1870s. VG bore and tight smooth action. This old cannon sure looks to be the typical “buff killer” of that era, as it has both the extra-heavy barrel, the factory fitted Beeches front sight and the elevated tang peep (as well as a buckhorn rear barrel sight). Very fine metal with 80% coverage of a 30% density smooth plum blue-brown barrel patina and liberal traces of frame case coloring. Fine wood with no deficits, VG markings including the matching serial number under the forearm and “TP&B” stampmg, which I believe means “Tang Peep & Beeches”. A very, VERY nice seldom encountered extra-heavy barreled Rolling Block Sporter! Fine O/A $4750
