Early 1900s REMINGTON M1902 MILITARY Pattern 7mm Rolling Block Rifle C&R
South American Contract Early 1900s Military Rifle
Here we present a C&R Remington Rolling Block Rifle, made under a South American contract circa the early 1900s and chambered in 7mm Mauser. The Model 1902 was the result of the Remington Arms Company seeing its best-selling military arm falling into obsolescence following the advent and adoption of the smokeless powder cartridge world-wide. Its main competition was repeating rifles such as Lebel and Mauser, but Remington was still able to extend the life of this antiquated, single-shot rolling block rifle for about another 20 years, especially in Latin America, where less expensive single shots were proven and sufficient.
The Remington Rolling Block rifle is a breech-loading rifle that was produced from the mid-1860s into the early 20th century by E. Remington and Sons (later Remington Arms Company). The action 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.
The overall condition is fair. Dark patina with some pitting evident. The action is excellent. The bore is in very good condition with sharp rifling. There is some soldier graffiti with what appears to be a name and the date 1929. Both top hand guard and butt stock are cracked and move about.
