Does anybody have any ideas on this rifle?

Found this the other day. Stamped on top is E.Remington&Sons. Appears to be a #1. Made after 1850’s. Has Oct. barrel, missing sights, forearm gone and caliber unknown. Any value or just a wall hanger?
Comments please and Thanks

Rolling block .45-70

Cool find...not sure what it's worth given that the forearm is missing and general condition.

I learned to shoot squirrels on a Remington Rolling Block .22. My Dad still has it.

A #1 rem rolling block --- could be several different calibers --
Marked #1 will not likely be other than a common us black powder caliber --
#1 bought for military use were not usually marked #1 -
however with rolling blocks there are always exceptions --

Location of the firing pin hole makes me think this a rimfire, like 41 rimfire.
