REMINGTON ARMS Rolling Block No. 5 CAVALRYMAN 7mm Saddle Ring CARBINE C&R
Nice Early 20th Century Military Saddle Ring Carbine
Here we present a C&R Remington Rolling Block No. 5 Military Saddle Ring Carbine, made circa 1897 to 1900 in Ilion, New York. The Remington Rolling Block had a sturdy, simple action that was relatively inexpensive, just what many governments wanted in the latter half of the 19th Century. They were popular with civilians as well.
“With your rifle I killed far more game than any other single party [on the Yellowstone Expedition]…while the shots made from your rifle were at longer range and more difficult shots than were those made by any other rifle in the command….I am more than ever impressed with the many superior qualities possessed by the system of arms manufactured by your firm, and I believe I am safe in asserting that to a great extent, this opinion is largely shared.”
Those were some of the comments made by Lieutenant Colonel George A. Custer in an October 5, 1873, letter to E. Remington & Sons of Ilion, New York. Less than three years after the Remington company received his letter of kudos, George Armstrong Custer took his cherished rolling-block sporting rifle on what would be his last campaign. On June 25 at the Little Bighorn in Montana Territory, Colonel Custer and his immediate command were wiped out, and his Remington rolling block, probably the most famous one of all time, was lost forever from the pages of history.
The action on the Rolling Block was extremely strong and could easily withstand the increased pressure of the new smokeless powders coming into use by the late 1880s. The Remington Rolling Block had a sturdy, simple action that was relatively inexpensive, just what many governments wanted in the latter half of the 19th Century. They were popular with civilians as well. Along with the Sharps rifle it was one of two rifles probably used more than any other by the buffalo hunters who hunted the American bison herds in the 1870s and 1880s. Civilian Remington rolling block rifles, and later surplus military rifles, became very popular among hunters in Scandinavia, particularly for moose hunting, with ammunition for the rifles being commonly available on the civilian market into the 1920s-1930s.
