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.

Is that 22 short or 22 LR and is it the takedown?

Very thoughtful. Nice.

20ths! If they are still availible.

I checked the current value on Ammoseek and......, I approve! Just kidding. We could all use a good laugh. Thanks for the fun Cactusjack. Nice collection.

No Sir! I'm sure she is right. One can only shoot so many 30-06's at one time and we only have four kids. So really anything more than six is probably too many and I exceed that easily. Plus, 270 Winchester rifles are pretty similar, for all intents and purposes, and I have more than sufficient of those as well. I suggested I might should sell a few and she thought I was correct, but left it to me ultimately. So while she thinks I may have too many, she never complains and leaves it up to me to decide. 35 years of marriage, she very seldom complains, only said no to me getting a pilot's license when I was much younger and pushed too many things to the limit, very few disagreements, always worked as hard or harder than I do, defends me without hesitation, has very few faults, put in place a very successful plan on how to raise our kids, highly educated (Chemical Engineer with a PE, Certified Quality Engineer, Environmental Engineer), and so much more. I am very fortunate. She truly is one of the smartest people I have ever met, and the most forgiving. She only ever made one great mistake in her life so far, and that was marrying me, and she still doesn't recognize her error to this day! You would be lucky to have half of the woman she is. NO Sir! No new wife!

I'll go check storage tomorrow and see what I have and what condition. I know I have some in 30-06. My wife thinks I should scale back a little.

Which model, newer or older? Location?

Great seller.

😁

Keep up the good fight and don't hesitate to do what's needed and best. The "Golden Years" are really labeled such because we spend all of our gold for one more year. The only thing worst than having another birthday is not having another birthday. We are selfish. We need you. Please do what you can and need to do so we may continue to be selfish. It ain't over till it's over and you don't lose until you give up. Keep fighting our friend, keep fighting! Best wishes and thoughts always. Let us know how we may help.
