Payment Types Accepted: checks, cashiers/bank check, money order Description: ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS AND SUPER RARE .45-70 CALIBER No. 1 ROLLING BLOCK MUSKET WITH BAYONET! I've seen a few Rem. Rolling Block .45-70 cadet rifles built on the No.1 1/2 action, but this is the first I've seen built an a true No.1 action, no doubt made for a state or city police or militia unit or maybe a military academy, no foreign proofs or cartouches, even the bayonet is not "U.S." marked as almost all are, this was a commercial musket not purchased by the U.S. Government (they had chosen the .45-70 Trapdoor Springfield), interestingly the stock has a lightly impressed oval with a "9" inside with some scroll design on each side inside the oval so I assume there are at least eight others like this one! 35" barrel, mint bore, beautiful vivid military style case colors on the receiver (typically a little duller and less polished than on sporters), exc. markings on the tang with the last patent date being 1874, exc. blue on the hammer and breech block, exc. wood, exc. bright barrel blue, cleaning rod intact, original military ladder rear sight, minty bore, bayonet looks to have always been with this rifle and shows good aged blue, this is a very very rare rifle in superb condition overall!
