Antique Remington Rolling Block - Cal. 50/70 - "New York Contract" or Remington Experimental" - Barrel length 36" All metal is nickel or brass - Very fine condition/with some pitting - Very nice even golden brown patina with worn spots. This is a fully functional breach loading firearm of circa 1869. Has three line Remington marking and patent dates on tang. Reads first line " REMINGTONS ILION N.Y. U.S.A." - Second line - " PAT. MAY 3rd NOV 15th 1864 APRIL 17th 1866" . Three barrel bans and rear sling swivel attached to action. Extremely high, curved hammer spur: thumb lever for breech block protrudes outward with locking action (returns to half cock when breech is closed). Barrel has Royal Crown markings on left side near action, on top of the barrel and on the side plate. Rear sight adjustable in increments of hundred yard markings - the letter "H" or “R” stamped on left side of action. This rifle is in very excellent shape!

You might review the rules for this forum.
Sales require a price, etc. This ain't ebay.
Nice shootin' iron, though!

I'll try to get a photograph soon, the rifle is not in nyc, but at my shack at the beach, could be a week. I don't know it's worth, so did not post a price. I would prefer a trade for a .40 cal pistol.

Your antique is going to be worth more than any .40 cal pistol I know of...

Any interstate gun swapping, even face to face, is going to face some serious legal hurdles.
In addition to the relevant Federal laws, NY is one of the more restrictive states when it comes to firearms and Gov. Spitzer has been pretty zealous in persecuting firearms offenders.
I would caution all involved to check on the legality prior to initiating any such action.
Just my .02, YMMV.

NJ Law in regards to this transaction.
NEW JERSEY ADMINISTRATIVE CODE
TITLE 13. LAW AND PUBLIC SAFETY
CHAPTER 54. FIREARMS AND WEAPONS
13:54-1.2 Definitions
"Antique cannon" means any weapon which satisfies the definition of an antique firearm and which is also capable of
firing a projectile of a caliber greater than .60 caliber, except a shotgun or shotgun ammunition generally recognized as
suitable for sporting purposes.
"Antique firearm" means any firearm which is incapable of being fired or discharged, or which does not fire fixed
ammunition regardless of date of manufacture, or was manufactured before 1898 for which cartridge ammunition is not
commercially available, and is possessed as a curiosity or ornament or for its historical significance or value.
13:54-1.3 Firearm identification card or permit to purchase required
(a) No person, other than a licensed or registered retail or wholesale dealer, shall receive, purchase or otherwise acquire

I've contact Shore Shot Pistol Range; where I shoot. They agreed to be the middle man. If your still interested, I'll take the rifle to them for shipping. They will receive the pistol and hold it until I complete the paper works on a licence application 2-3month wait.
Now, as for the lessons...whats the commute???

LOL, I'll be in NYC in a few months.... or you are more than welcome to come and visit Phoenix AZ! We have a nice desert to shoot in and we're very pro-gun out here in the wild wild west.
