Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds RELIST FS Old Remington Rolling Block action- Swede Rehabed and 45-70 Barrel

Relisting because I derailed my original post, so here it is again, a little cleaner.

My Remington Rolling Block Project that will die in my closet unless someone saves it.

The action was utilized in the Swedish Arsenal but is actually a Remington made action, eventually overhauled, heat treated, new extractor, blocks etc, and rebarreled to 8x58D then sequestered for a century or so.

I purchased an unfired factory Remington barrel in 45-70 to spin on it a 30" half round half octagon - (no longer in stock via that supplier) already threaded with sight dovetails but cut for the sliding extractor - still convertible to rotary extractor with some metal work.

Barrel needs to be indexed with about 0.03" taken off the shoulder to get it in before you can check the breech block.

The action is currently disassembled.

It is an antique, so it ships direct.

It is an antique, so BLACK POWDER is your best bet here.

The Swedish 8mm barrel is not included as I have it as a project now.

The walnut butt stock (ugly, long LOP, but in-tact enough for you to finish into a usable item), and the forearm is included.

I always thought that after 100+ years it would be nice to hook up the Remington stamped action with a Remington stamped barrel, hopefully someone else picks up the ball.

Asking $485 + shipping.

I wonder how hard it would be to turn this into a 22 Hornet? I am more of a smaller caliber guy. What would you take for everything but the barrel I know I wouldn't want a 45-70.

175 on barrel, 310 on action, stock and forearm Would prefer they both are spoken for.

I suspect you will need to look at a new extractor and bushing the firing pin as well as the pressure of round as a start.

300 on the action and furniture
170 on the barrel

I'm also looking for a nice scope for a lever action rim fire, or a good medium to long range optic for a 500 yard max range rifle (fixed 6x, or variable with BDC, dots and/or turrets) - with boot either way if necessary.

Will sell action without the barrel but not barrel only.

PM sent. I would like to do a trade if we can work something out

still available.

Open to trades but I've got some unique items on the "need" list, and am resisting the "want" list as much as I can.
