Another rolling block question??

You have a #3 Remington, a Hepburn. technically a falling block. Remington used numbers 1- 5 for their model #s with the #3 as a different block style. Double set triggers were made for the Hepburn, but are not that common. Check out Vernz's post below and see if yours looks like his. A .32W should be a .32-20 Winchester. You would need to make a chamber cast to make sure nobody fooled with it over the years. See my reply to Vernz about how to get more info on single shots.
Serial #'s are usually on the woodwork, barrel, and tang. on the side of the tang once you remove the stock, should be assembly number that will differ from the serial#
#3's are wonderful rifles , imho.

I will see a guy who is well versed in Hepburns today, I'll ask about the serial #. Modern ammo in 32-20 should be safe to shoot, but if it has been sitting for 60 years and came from a high moisture environment, I'd check it out thoroughly. If the bore is clear, and all the parts operate, it is probably safe... Probably. Have local gunsmith check it out if you aren't familiar with them. Shooting them is a lot of fun.

I'll let you know what I find out about the #

ps you anywhere near Cincinnati ?

My guy thinks it could have been made around 1898. Doesn't seem to be a source for great record keeping from back then.

Keep us posted on how it shoots,
