Payment Types Accepted: Credit Card, Certified Check, Money Order Description: Antique REMINGTON ARGENTINE CONTRACT Model 1879 ROLLING BLOCK Military Rifle Late 19th Century Remington Argentine Export Here we present an antique Remington Argentine Contract Model 1879 Rolling Block Rifle made circa 1879-88 in Ilion, New York. This example is one of the many “export” rifles made for foreign governments, all based on the Remington Rolling Block design. Around the late 1800s Argentina was a developing world power and had one of the largest economies in the world. Like any growing power, it needed arms, and as there were not yet local producers up to the task, they contracted out for their weaponry. They would later replace the rolling blocks with the more modern Argentine Contract Mauser rifles towards the end of the 1800s. The overall condition is fine. Nicely refinished. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. The stock shows use and remains solid. A very nice example. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 36 inches. Caliber: .43-77 Spanish (11.15x58mm) Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1500 #226408 SOLD Antique: Yes |
