Or the Remington Rolling block. The rolling block lasted longer than the Springfield in different calibers. Instead of rolling back, it rolled side ways. But the hammer and firing pin were very similar to the Springfield trap doors. Was a time of innovation and fighting around the world. PM me and I'll take it to you to see.

The firing pin runs through the rotating cylinder. Pretty cool to look at the engineering. Austria-Hungarian 1867 - 1888. Roughly 680,000 made but you don't run across them frequently.

I cheated a screen shot the specs.

Ok, if you look close the name is on the receiver. Cactusjack's Uncle had one of these stolen from his shop last year so keep your eyes open. Not real common. 1867 Werndl

I'm not very versed in shotguns. Is it an Ithaca? Very, very nice.

Better pics for the second, harder rifle.

Tried camera flash this time. 1873 Remington Rolling Block.

Tough light, but Not a Springfield. Remington. Remington Rolling Block was not Springfield. Springfield had the trap door. But you were spot on for the year. Pretty impressive.

Sorry for the light. Wife is sleeping on other half of the bed.

Ok, now for a harder one.

1873 Remington Rolling block in 43 Spanish (I think, need to cast the chamber)

They were also made in foreign countries and for foreign countries. This one is made in a foreign caliber. The year is correct.

That's what the pawn shop called it. Wrong manufacturer.

If I may submit this rifle that I purchased from a Tucson pawn shop in 2015 for $132.00 not knowing what it was. One of the earliest years it was made.
