I have acquired an Old Remington Rolling block action from an estate sale. I have two questions: what is something like this worth ( not that great of condition, but can be worked on by a gunsmith ), and since it has a serial# am I able to ship to someones home address or does it need to be shipped to a FFL dealer?
Thank You

    Anyone know what this is? The only marking I can find on it ANYWHERE is the Reimngton stamp and the ever so faint serial number on the bottom of the barrel. I have no clue as to what model. I figure it's a .22 just by looking. I can research the rest if I just knew what model. Im going to sell it on GB but need to know:

    What it is:
    When it was made:

    Thanks!

    Okay here goes. My friend finally got his receivers in. He bought 100 M1867 Swedish Actions. At $14 a piece, we figured why buy two when you can buy 100 and build some to sell. In the next couple years, I'm going to build some pretty nice Rolling Blocks, no two will be alike. Give me some ideas for what to do, you might even see it listed on here some day.

    I am looking at a Remington Rolling Block in 7x57 as a platform for a 219 Donaldson Wasp. Will it handle it OK?

    In 1980 my parents bought a house from the man who had it built...he was our local FBI agent. The following year my parents began adding a wing onto the house. One on the hvqc men called my mother downstairs. He had just taken the end off of the original air ducts and found a rifle inside it.

    The gun was covered in a light surface rust. I took it home and cleaned on it for a few days and was suprised on how tight and smooth the hammer and trigger were. But it looked very old.

    It has a Republic of Mexico seal on top of the reciever. Being unfamiliar with these types of rifles I called Remington...and, after several days of calling I finally got hold of their rifle historian. She asked lots of questions about markings and such and told me that it was a Type 1 rolling block, sn 2777, 1870's vintage. It had a 7mm barrel on it to which she said it had been rebarreled in the late 1890's (probably) to fire the newer and more powerful smokeless powder
    rounds.

    Are these guns worth anything?

    No info last time I asked this question so will try again. What is the way to tell if I have a #1 or #2 Remington rolling block action? I would send pic's but I don't have the capability to do so. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Can anyone help me ID this? Looking at comps other models have the actual model imprinted on it but I can't really find any markings on this besides what I assume to be the serial number underneath the barrel. Thanks!

    Yes rolling block rifles are of value. But that value resides in many points of condition that are conveyed best with pictures. From what you have stated yours may be in a much better then average condition, or not. These rifles were made in large numbers by Rem for several governments in different cartridges and as such they are not very rare or hard to come by. Have you done a search on the auction side of this site? Currently there are 15 Remington rolling block rifles offered ranging from $250 to $1700. See if one or more aren't #1 in similar configuration and condition to yours.
