Remington Rolling Block Shotgun - 05/31/11
I am unsure as to the proper forum for my questions so forgive me if I am posting in the wrong one.
I have a rolling block shotgun that my dad picked up at a pawn shop in the early 60's. I think he gave $10 for it.
It is a 20 gauge and presently hangs on the wall in my office.
The wood is cracked and missing some pieces from the butt stock. The forearm looks like it has been whittled down and an improper screw is fitted in the forearm
I have looked at various "guides" and cannot find a listing for this shotgun. I do remember reading an article that stated the army had them issued for foraging.
I would like to know if this shotgun has any value.
Secondly, could I have the action converted to a rifle cartridge? Due to the age of the beast I would consider something mild.
Any input would be appreciated.
Thanks
Frank
