Antique Remington Rolling Block - Cal. 50/70
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! Wood is in excellent condition with cartouche left and right on wrist/grip area of stock . All metal parts are in perfect working condition/ firing pins appear worn. ( dry fired I assume) Rifle bore is mint. This is a original Remington Rolling Block!

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...

That's awful Penn. It may not help much, but I'll keep an eye out on forums that have trading/sales of antique firearms for it. Pawn shops nearby are a good place to start hunting. Plus they have to show ID so it shouldn't be too hard to track 'em down.
