Antique REMINGTON .58 Centerfire ROLLING BLOCK Conversion of Civil War Rifle-Musket
19th Century INDIAN WARS Era Rifle
Here we present an antique Remington Rolling Block Conversion of a Civil War Rifled-Musket.
During the American Civil War, gunsmith Leonard M. Geiger designed the basic action, in which the shooter “rolled” the breechblock backward with the thumb and inserted a cartridge in the breech, before the block “rolled” forward, and the interlocking hammer cocked in one fluid motion. E. Remington & Sons, America’s oldest firearms manufacturer, took over Geiger’s patent and assigned one of its chief engineers, Joseph Rider, to make the necessary refinements. Rider brought the new action along, and with his 1864 and 1865 patents, put it in its nearly perfect final form.
Muskets were in abundance at the end of the Civil War, and many inventors were working on how to convert these surplus rifles into breech-loading, metallic cartridge firing rifles rather than simply throw them out in favor of adopting a new system from the ground-up.
The overall condition is good. These typically show heavy use and this one is no exception. Dark patina throughout with the butt plate and stock around it showing greater weathering. The action is excellent. The bore is in good shape for age with nice rifling and good surfaces within. The stock shows much use and wear. A very scarce example of a Remington Rolling Block Converted Civil War Musket in .58 Centerfire!
