The Model 2 was manufactured from 1873 to 1910 in a wide variety of calibers. It is based on the rolling block pistol action rather than the large No. 1 action used on the prior larger military, hunting, and target rifles. This example was manufactured in .38 centerfire and has a dovetailed blade front sight, adjustable sporting rear sight, smooth stock and forearm with lightly curved profile. It has matching serial numbers. Additional Information: The top barrel flat is marked "E. REMINGTON & SONS. ILION. N.Y." and the left side of the receiver is stamped with the six line Remington factory patent dates, the last one dated "Sept 1873".
