REMINGTON/SPRINGFIELD 1871 U.S. ARMY MODEL ROLLING BLOCK .50-70 RIFLE
Description: REMINGTON/SPRINGFIELD 1871 U.S. ARMY MODEL ROLLING BLOCK .50-70 RIFLE. Only 10,001 of these were made 1871-1872 and this is a fine one. Excellent stock and forearm showing light handling only and a corrrect very sharp "ESA" oval cartouche. Mottled gray receiver with correct Remington address and patent dates on the upper tang. Correct ladder rear sight with slide intact. Has the cleaning rod. Correct Springfield 1872 markings on the right side of the receiver and "Model 1871" on the left side. 36" Barrels etc. were left in the "white" and never blued. This example shows a barrel turned gray from never having been cleaned or steel-wooled as most have. Very tight and correctly functioning "safety action" in which the hammer is brought to full cock for loading and drops to a safety position when the breech block is closed- an excellent feature that should have been incorporated in all Rolling Blocks! Bright, excellent bore with only a couple of tiny spots of roughness. Needs only sling swivel in the trigger guard- interesting that in Flayderman's Guide there are two 1871s photographed (rifle and carbine) and both are also missing this swivel. Regardless, easily replaced or left as is. Fine, historical example.
