UNUSUAL REMINGTON 50-70 NEW YORK STATE ROLLING BLOCK WITH FULL NICKEL PLATE FINISH,
Description: VERY UNUSUAL REMINGTON .50-70 NEW YORK STATE CONTRACT ROLLING BLOCK MILITARY RIFLE WITH FULL NICKEL PLATE FINISH, MADE 1871. Over the decades I've seen a few of these. Whether they were plated experimentally or perhaps for parade use is unknown. It is known that some of these were finished "in the white" with polished barrels and receivers, some had blued barrels and polished receivers and some had case colored receivers with blued barrels. Lots of good info on these in George Layman's book Remington Rolling Block Military Rifles of the World. This example is full nickel plated including the hammer, breech block furniture, sights and even the cleaning rod. The nickel shows age and is getting a thick/cloudy/dull look to it. There is minor freckling in areas and some edge wear, but most is intact. Solid stock and forrrend with rack numbers in the side and top of the stock along with a light inspector cartouche. Tight wood to metal fit, all correct, exc. mech. and fine bore with stront rifling all the way through with some light corrosion that a good oil soaking and brushing should improve considerably. Correct early Remington markings on the upper tang identify this as one of the first contracts with the state of New York in 1871. Most unusual and handsome!
