Description:

These Mid-Range Target Rolling Block Rifles were manufactured by Remington c. 1875-1890. The part octagon barrel is marked with the "E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N.Y." address on top and has a windage adjustable globe front sight with a spirit level, "40 70" (.40-70/.40 2 1/4 Sharps Necked) marked on the bottom of the barrel ahead of the forend. The frame has the patent markings on the left and a mid-range vernier peep sight mounted on the upper tang. Matching serial number "6505" marked on the bottom of the barrel beneath the forearm, faintly legible on the rear surface of the forearm, on the lower tang and underside of the buttplate. "TP & W" is also marked on the bottom of the barrel beneath the forearm. The forearm is smooth and has a steel end cap, and the straight wrist stock has a checkered wrist and a smooth flat steel buttplate.

Rating Definition:

Very good, exhibiting a smooth plum brown patina on the barrel with a patch of light pitting visible on the right middle, 60% plus original niter blue finish on the small parts, and strong traces of original case colors on the frame turned to a smooth gray/brown patina, with scattered spotting and sharp markings in the metal. Wood is fine with defined edges, some scattered light scratches and dings, some minor fading on the forearm, and crisp re-cut checkering. Mechanically excellent.
