BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK .45-70 SPORTING/TARGET RIFLE

Description:
BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK .45-70 SPORTING/TARGET RIFLE. Aside from the Remington address and patent date under the tang sight, the only other marking on this fine rifle is the “45 70” caliber marking on the bottom of the barrel ahead of the forend tip- which is the traditional way Remington marked these. The checkered steel shotgun butt is paired with a checkered pistol grip with schnable-curved bottom. The forend as well as the butt stock have the Remington “side panels” on each side of the receiver. The walnut is fairly fancy in the stock with even more grain structure in the forend which has a graceful schnable tip. The 32 inch half octagon barre with recessed target crown is polished blue and fitted with a globe front sight that will accept inserts. There is no rear sight dovetail on the barrel. The tang is fitted with a fully windage/elevation adjustable vernier sight. The receiver shows upper tang patent date indicating it is a smokeless powder No. 5 action that has been beautifully and professionally bone/charcoal pack harden case colored and professionally cut with a traditional octagon top receiver ring. The hammer and breech block are deeply blued as were the originals and the two receiver pins and retaining bar, along with the trigger and screw heads have all been polished and fire blued. Weighs right  at about 10 1/4 lbs. All in about unused condition inside and out. This one would cost a bundle to have made from scratch- if you could find a gunsmith who could handle it.
