    added compare pic 4 of the auction and your pic. Your length of receiver appears different, no firing pin retainer screw, stock cut is straight was slanted.

    you should edit your posts you have used 4 out 10 already.

    According to "Flayderman's Guide". Which is the standard reference, for U.S. antique arms collectors. Remington made 3 different Rolling Blocks, in 32 rimfire. Models 1 1/2, 2, & New Model 4.

    From the serial number you have given. My WAG is that you have a New Model 4. Which is the most common of the 3.

    Flayderman estimates that over 50,000 were made, between 1890 and 1933.

    It should have Remington markings, such as "company name", "address" and "patent dates". If yours doesn't? Might have been refinished harshly? Or a knock-off, made in either Spain or Belgium?

    .22 rimfires were used for training and at military schools, during that time frame.

    Here are the three main types of No. 4's:

    Yours appears to be the early non-takedown type, probably made before 1900 but far as I know there are no serial number records.

    These were common "boy's rifles" not military guns. In 1897 Sears sold them for five bucks.
