Remington rolling block

edited September 2016 in Ask the Experts
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!

    The patent dates are the same as used, on Remington RB conversions of of the War of Northern Aggression Musket(s). Chambered for various calibers, from 43 Spanish to 58 rimfire. See page 179 of Flayderman.

    My WAG is that you have a sporterized version of the above. If you can prove that Remington sporterized it. Rather than an aftermarket gunsmith. Likely it would be a very big buck collectors item.

    What is it chambered for?
    Slug the bore and do a chamber cast if you do not know.

    Is it rifled?
    It might be a shotgun conversion.

    50 cal of some sort and is rifled. On the small frame. When you take the stock off ser# 54.

    You need a hands on, with a pro Remington collector. Who specializes in R-B's.

    In the 1870's, when the Army went to the T-D in 45-70. All the old obsolete guns. In weird calibers, were dumped on the surplus market for chump change. Going to be rough to prove, that Remington sporterized your RB. Instead of the much more likely, local gunsmith.

    There was a short 50 cal pistol round for the RB pistol. +1 for a chamber cast.

    Many were made it 50-70 Springfield it that ERA. Very popular with buffalo hunters and our services used both the carbine and the rifle. Many were sporterized like RUFE said. A chamber cast will determine what you have.

    I suspect it's the #1 large frame.
