SELDOM SEEN SPRINGFIELD/REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK 1870 U. S. NAVY .50-70 MILITARY RIFLE.
Description: SELDOM SEEN SPRINGFIELD/REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK 1870 U. S. NAVY .50-70 MILITARY RIFLE. Only about 22,000 of these were made by Springfield with a royalty agreement with Remington from 1870-1871. Of these the first 10,000 were rejected by the navy because the rear sight was just 1/2" in front of the receiver. The U.S. Navy accepted rifles have the rear sight further forward from the receiver, like this one. Navy rifles also have the anchor stamp on top of the barrel and inspector stamps on the side of the barrel. This one also has the original bayonet lug on the barrel where many had this ground off after they left the navy. About all of these were later sold to France for the Franco-Prussian war, which is why they are so scarce in the U.S. today. This example shows a nice aged gray/brown patina overall with correct Remington tang markings and barrel anchor/inspector stamps. Correct USN/SPRINGFIELD/1870 and eagle stamping on the receiver, letters/rack number on lower tang. Stock is un-sanded and shows numerous surface handling marks, forend is similar. Cleaning rod intact with correct barrel sights. Tight action, fairly bright bore with fine rifling all the way through and scattered very minor surface corrosion that ought to brush out. Really hard to find like this. SOLD Antique: Yes Rifle Caliber: .50-70 Government Manufacturer: SPRINGFIELD Model: 1870 USN R/B Barrel Length: 32 5/8 Condition: VG Bore Condition: FINE+ |
