Description:
EARLY .50-70 NEW YORK STATE CONTRACT ROLLING BLOCK MILITARY RIFLE. According to the information in the excellent book Remington Rolling Block Military Rifles of the World by George Layman, by the tang patent dates this example was from the first contract with the state of N. Y. in 1871. Overall metal is mostly a silver/gray with some aged brown. Original sights, swivels etc. Stock has the usual correct cartouches and rack number stampings. Cleaning rod intact. Stock and forearm show the usual handling marks with one repaired crack on the right side from the rear of the upper tang to the rear of the lower tang that is only on the right side and does not go through the stock- basically a big chip that was repaired and is now solid and not all that major. Tight action with correct mechanism in which the hammer falls automatically to a safety position near full cock when the breech block is closed. This should have been employed in ALL Rolling Blocks so that the hammer would not have to be manually lowered with the thumb after seating a cartridge and closing the breech for safe carrying when loaded. Excellent fairly bright bore.
