Description:
FINE CONDITION, SCARCE NEW YORK STATE CONTRACT ROLLING BLOCK SADDLE RING CARBINE, .50-70 CALIBER. Fifteen hundred of these were ordered in 1873. This one is stamped with a rack number and “A” on the top of the stock ahead of the butt plate indicating that it was one of the carbines issued to the “independent Group of cavalry, Troop A” in 1889. There is some pretty information about these rare carbines in George Layman’s book Remington Rolling Block Military Rifles of the World.” This example also has the correct banner cartouche on the left side of the wrist. Bore is excellent+, wood is solid, metal surfaces smooth and free of pitting. The barrel is a nice uncleaned aged patina as is the receiver. Correct front sight and folding leaf carbine rear sight. Correct Remington and patent markings on the upper tang. Nice screws and saddle ring intact. Action is the correct type that when at full cock and the breech block is pulled to the rear the hammer automatically falls forward about 1/8” into a safety notch- a great innovation that should have been incorporated in all Rolling Blocks (in my opinion, of course). Correct carbine steel butt plate. In all, a fine example of one of the more difficult U.S. Rolling Blocks to locate, plus in a truly great caliber.
