Hi, I am looking for some info on a remington rolling block rifle. It has a heavy, 30" 1 1/4" round unfired replacement barrel in 45-70 with no markings on it what-so-ever. On the tang of the receiver there are a number of patent dates ending March 1873. On the left side of the tang with the stock removed is the #526. (on upper and lower tang) On the stock is an a 1" rectangular inlet carved about 3/8" deep with two screw holes that I am assuming must be a sling mount (military or civilian ?).The stock has a flat metal butt plate. The block itself concerns me. It has a notch in it which allows you to see the top of the shell casing with the block rolled forward in firing position. Having looked at the photos on the internet I have not seen an identical configuration. Any ideas as to the model # or approx year of manufacture.
Any info or opinions will be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance, Greg
