U.S. Remington Type II Split Breech Rolling Block Carbine

These early Remington rolling blocks were manufactured by Savage Revolving Arms Co. for Remington. Only 15,000 were ordered. They were Remington's first long guns chambered for metallic cartridges and paved the way for the widely used No. 1 rolling block series. They were delivered too late to see use in the Civil War and were promptly repurchased by Remington and then sold to France for use in the Franco-Prussian War. The stock has faint remnants of an inspection cartouche on the left of the wrist. The barrel has the standard pinched blade front sight, and notch and folding leaf rear sight.

ConditionGood, with old applied brown finish and scattered light to mild pitting. The wood is also good as sanded and re-oiled, with some light scratches. Mechanically fine.
