Description:
Scarce REMINGTON M1871 Army ROLLING BLOCK Pistol
Estimated 6,000 Were Manufactured
Here we present an antique Remington Model 1871 Army Rolling Block Pistol, (sometimes referred to as the Army and Navy Model), was manufactured circa 1872-1888 in Ilion, New York. 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.
The M1871 was the final redesign of the original Rolling Block pistol, still operating on the big-bore, single shot premise. The trigger and trigger guard were moved forward on the receiver, and a spur was added to the receiver behind the hammer to allow for a better grip. A firing pin retractor was added, and a rotating extractor was designed. The front sight was changed from a bead to a blade, and the lock work was also redesigned. 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.
The left side of the frame is marked “REMINGTON’S ILION, N.Y. U.S.A./PAT MAY 30. NOV. 15TH 1864 APRIL 17TH 1866”. The left side of the stock is marked with the inspector’s cartouche “C.R.S.” for Curtis R. Stickney.
The overall condition is very good. The metal surfaces are dark with age. The markings are clear and legible. The stock is in great shape. The bore is in good shape with a slight frosted appearance. The action on this pistol is excellent. Here is a handsome and scarce U.S. martial pistol!
