This is a nice looking gun with one of the most historic designs in American history. This is the famous Remington "Rolling Block" design action. At the breech of the barrel it has the standard looking hammer and when you cock it back it has the lever that pulls back to allow for the loading of the cartridge, hence the name rolling block. These rolling block design guns were a mainstay for armies all around the world and they made over 1,000,000 of them of various designs during their production from 1867 until 1888. This is a version that was made by the Remington Company themselves. It is the .43 Spanish in caliber bore size and fires the centerfire cartridge from the full-length 35 inch barrel. Inside the barrel it looks dark and dingy like a stovepipe and hasn't been cleaned in eons, but you can see traces of the rifling. At the breech of the barrel, it has the rear sight intact. On the tang of the barrel it has the remnants of the "REMINGTON'S PATENT. PAT MAY 3d NOV. 15TH, 1864, APRIL 17TH 1868.". What is cool about this gun is that all of the parts including for the ramrod are still present and fully functional. Most of the time these are missing pieces or have repairs but not this one. It has the sling swivels intact as well. The stock of the gun has a very pleasing color to the well-worn walnut wood. This is a just a nice and original Remington rolling block rifle.
