Description:
Remington "NY State Militia" Rolling Block Rifle, .50/70!  No Serial Number, rack #47 on buttplate.  The state of New York purchased about 15,000 rolling block rifles from Remington in the 1870's. These can be distinguished by the high hammer spur and the thumb lever for the breechblock that protrudes to the right instead of up. It also features a patented half cock hammer safety, which requires the hammer to be fully cocked again after loading a cartridge and closing the breechblock. It uses the standard Remington M1871 military round top rolling block action with a 36 inch round barrel in .50-70 Government caliber. It is very similar to the Springfield M1871 Licensed design.  BBL: 36", Round profile, VG bore for age(See tesst target)!  LOP: 13 3/8" with smooth metal butt plate.  WT: 8lbs 12oz  Trigger: 7lbs  Restoration by SHOOTERS EXCHANGE!  SHIPS INSURED TO THE LOWER 48 FOR $70.00.  THIS IS AN ANTIQUE AND WILL SHIP DIRECTLY TO BUYER!
