Beware of scammers.

Hi Marlinman,

Thanks fot the info. Interesting, I'm surprised that Springfield made any Rolling Blocks, since the Army had already decided to convert rifles in stock.

Daniel

Hi,
You'll get more info if you post in the rifle section, pre 1898.

Good luck,
Daniel

Hi Jim,

Thanks for the additional info. I have Flayderman's book so I'll look it up, but Flayderman isn't always right, and he often repeats 60-70 year old info that has never been verified, so I always want a second source, that doesn't use
Flayderman as a source.
This is getting interesting.n ...

Here we go. The 1910 is with a friend right now so I can't check it. It is a No 1 frame chambered for 7x57.

I have learned that Google can give lots of "hits" but when it comes to remmies, most of the info is bad. Or Google will list the same "hit" several times, leading to a waste of time. But ...

Hi Jim,

Now I'm really confused. Remember I don't know much about the RB rifle, so I'm easily confused. My 1910 RB doesn't lower the hammer at all when the breech block is closed on a round.

You also said that you had 2 RBs, and one was made at Springfield, but I am unaware that any RBs were ...

Hi Jim,

What is a "locking action?" I'm just familiar with the basics of the Rolling Block rifles,
and haven't heard of a "locking action."

Thanks,
Daniel

Hello to the Remmy fans,

It's time to remind all that this research project still continues, and we are still looking for info on all Belt Models, the SAs and the DAs, or Riders. So far we have over 300 numbers, and have come to a few conclusions based of the info provided, including a very ...

Sept 64 would be: serials: 96,521 - 101-360.

Hi Jim,

According to Don Ware's book, there were 12 final inspectors of the Navy and Army models. 6 of the 12 used 3 letters. 7 of the 12 are unidentified.
CGC - C. G. Curtis, and early inspector.
WAT - William A. ?Thornton, inspected contract arms for the Ordinance Dept.
OWA - O.W. Ainsworth ...

The capital letter "C" does mean that part is condemned. Once that part was replaced, the final inspector would stamp his cartouche in the grip.Rem would use main of the condemned parts to build guns for the civilian trade. What other info are you looking for?
Daniel.

A quick PS.

On the parts bin theory, eighteen+ months is just too much time between the last Old Model and your pistol to consider this possibility. It seems highly improbably that a loading lever lay in a parts bin that long.

Hello again,

Yes, Remington, and all other makers had transitional pieces with old and new parts on some pistols. I might suspect that except that the serial is too high for this to be one of those.

According to Don Ware's book, the last transitional Army pistols from 1861 model, to New Model ...

Hi Sergay,

If you're really determined to do it yourself, consider buying the same model in excellent condition, and take it apart! you can get dimensions directly off of an original with little wear. Once the bad pistol is working, you can sell the one that served as your pattern.

If you know ...

Hello bar2009,

The serial on the trigger guard tab changes everything. It means that except for the Beals loading lever, and possibly the grips, this pistol is probably all original.

I've never seen that type of star before, and I didn't find it in the book, "Gunmarks" by David Byron, printed ...

Hello Sergey,

Thank you for the explanation. Good luck with your project.
Daniel
