Remington rolling block
I have acquired an Old Remington Rolling block action from an estate sale. I have two questions: what is something like this worth ( not that great of condition, but can be worked on by a gunsmith ), and since it has a serial# am I able to ship to someones home address or does it need to be shipped to a FFL dealer?
Thank You

This gun takes a 2and half in shell. Would gun shoot brass 16 ga.ond/or20 ga. paper Thanks John 0 -
The patent dates are the same as used, on Remington RB conversions of of the War of Northern Aggression Musket(s). Chambered for various calibers, from 43 Spanish to 58 rimfire. See page 179 of Flayderman.
My WAG is that you have a sporterized version of the above. If you can prove that Remington sporterized it. Rather than an aftermarket gunsmith. Likely it would be a very big buck collectors item.0 -
What is it chambered for?
Slug the bore and do a chamber cast if you do not know.0 -
Is it rifled?
It might be a shotgun conversion.0 -
50 cal of some sort and is rifled. On the small frame. When you take the stock off ser# 54. 0 -

You need a hands on, with a pro Remington collector. Who specializes in R-B's.
In the 1870's, when the Army went to the T-D in 45-70. All the old obsolete guns. In weird calibers, were dumped on the surplus market for chump change. Going to be rough to prove, that Remington sporterized your RB. Instead of the much more likely, local gunsmith.0 -
There was a short 50 cal pistol round for the RB pistol. +1 for a chamber cast. 0 -
Many were made it 50-70 Springfield it that ERA. Very popular with buffalo hunters and our services used both the carbine and the rifle. Many were sporterized like RUFE said. A chamber cast will determine what you have. 0 -
I suspect it's the #1 large frame. 0
