    I finally brought home the Rolling Block today.
    Navy Arms, Pedersoli, 45/70, 22" barrel.

    How do you keep the extractor in place while pulling the fist lever back? In order to load a shell, the extractor must stay in place, however, it comes back with the lever & goes forward with the lever.
    How is a shell loaded with the extractor in the way??
    I am using spent brass just to check it out, not live ammo.

    Thanks for any help. will post pics shortly

    "ELG over *" is a standard Belgian proof mark. All it means is that the barrel has gone through the proof process.

    The Belgians were making Rolling Blocks under license from Remington, from at least the 1870's.

    Here are instructions for posting photos. Even with the photos though it's not likely we can provide much more information, if their isn't a manufacturers or retailers name, ( we can identify ) on the rifle.



    First thing you need is a site to host your picture. What I mean by that is that you will need to upload your pictures to a web site that will host(display) them for you. You should not use your hard drive to host pictures for safety sake. Use www.photobucket.com to host your pictures.

    After you have uploaded your pictures to the site that will host them for you(per their directions), the next thing you will want to do is go to the picture hosting site and view the picture. While you are viewing the picture, right click on it and you'll see another window that should pop up, now click on "properties" and copy the picture URL. If you know how to "copy & paste" this will be a piece of cake.

    Now that you have the picture URL and your ready to post your picture. Do the following, use the following code except take out the "*" asterisk. The "*" asterisk is used here only so you can see the code. In other words if I posted the code without the "*" asterisk you will see a picture instead of the code. Anyways use this code to post your picture..
    [*img]the picture URL goes here[*/img]
