Remington Rolling Block Question
I am looking at what I believe is a model 1910 (by rear sight) rolling block rifle in 7 m/m. My questions are: how long did they make this model? Were they serial numbered? and is there any collector value (this is about 10% mostly due to the stock condition) or would this be a candidate for a conversion.
Thanks!

Anyone know how rare a Remington Rolling Block in 44 Rimfire Long with a 34 inch barrel would be. Where could I find out? 0 -
Although 7mm Mauser ammo is still in commercial production and available. It's not particularly popular any more, and will be pricey.
Because of the relatively weak action/lockup of the rolling block, it will be better for you to load your own. Although you can use Black Powder, there are many BP substitutes on the market nowadays that are non corrosive and much easier to use.
Be watchful when reloading for incipient failure stretch marks on the fired cases. Years ago I tried reloading for a 7mm Rolling Block, and never succeeded using smokeless powder. Even just neck sizing the brass didn't solve the problem, as there was to much "spring" in the action, resulting in the brass stretching after just one shot.0 -
the 7x57 was never loaded with black powder, you have a rifle desinged for smokeless powder. any 'standard' u.s. 7mm mauser or 7x57 ammo will work in your rifle (not light magnum by hornady). the remington rollers didn't use the 'mauser' form of rifling or twist so you should try different weight bullets to see which works best. I've had the best results with the lighter bullets (145 gn.) 0
