Looking for Information on Rolling Block Rifle

[vulture]

I'm no expert on these so I won't go into what I think you have, but as for brass I think you can get what you want from Buffalo Arms, you might also just do a google search for .50-70 brass and see what comes up. I have several rolling block rifles but as of yet haven't been able to afford one of the .50-70's. These seem to be some of the more expensive on the market, and finding one of the NY State rifles in good condition is also a might harder than finding some of the Spanish models in different calibers. Good luck on what you need and I hope you can find someone to load your brass once you get some and some bullets rounded up for it.

Some of the socket bayonets also are found with a "H" or "R" stamped on them.
For the standard Remington combination tool, here is a link to the S&S Firearms catalog, see item 314:

Hope this helps some,

To find a NYS bayonet, you have to look at all socket bayonets that don't have US stamped on the blade, then look to see if they have a "B", "H" or "R" stamped on the socket. They tend to be hard to find, but they do turn up now and then.

Good Luck,
Matt
