I own a Remington single shot 22 caliber rifle. It has, what I understand, a " rolling block mechanism". On top of the octagonal barrel is " REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION, N.Y., U.S.A. The serial # on the underside is ; J208350 22. The overall length is 37".
It belonged to my grandfather who lived from 1864 until 1927.
Can anyone tell me the age of this rifle and the value. It is in good working condition. The rear sight is missing, which I would like to replace.

  I assume the rifle is ordinary, not a Routledge or a smooth bore?
  
  514 models did come in Routledge bore, not as common, worth more than the norm.

  Please explain what Routledge bore is and how to tell if I have one.
  
  Remember Ruby Ridge.
  
  
  First, the barrel should be marked Routledge, as for the look of it, bead front sight, no rear sight. If you look at the muzzle, the opening is much larger, very similar to a .410 shotgun. I'm not sure how far into the barrel this overboring goes, maybe about 12 inches or so.
  
  If you do a search, should be info on him, I think a Canadian military man. Col. Routledge.
  
  Of course, an ordinary smooth bore would also be less common that a rifled model.
