The state of New York purchased about 15,000 rolling block rifles and carbines from Remington circa 1872. These can be distinguished by the extremely high curved hammer spur, thumb lever for the breechblock that protrudes outward instead of up and the safety locking action which automatically returns the hammer to half cock when the breech is closed. They used the standard Remington military round top, rolling block action with a 22 inch round barrel in 50-70 CF caliber. The upper tang has the standard three line Remington address/patent dates. The left rear of the barrel and left side of the barrel band are stamped with a "B". Pinched front and two leaf folding rear sights, saddle ring and bar mounted on the left side of the frame. Mounted with a smooth forearm and straight grip stock with the correct sharp "HBH" banner cartouche on the left wrist and iron carbine buttplate.

Fine. The metal surfaces have a smooth blue/brown patina. The wood is also fine with a small chip on the bottom of the forearm at the receiver and overall some minor dents and dings. The markings and cartouche are clear. Mechanically fine.
