Item Relisted! FS 1900's Remington Rolling Block Takedown Rifles

[dcline9163]

2 Remington Rolling Block Takedown Rifles
One is a 32 cal and the other is a 22 cal.
From my brothers collection with health issues OBO
fairly good condition on one, one has a hand made butt stock.

These are from early 1900's. I'm sure someone knows more than myself.
$500.00 for the pair. Pics coming.

What .32? Ca't read markings. Likely .32 RF

apparently rem #6 -- 1901-33 -- technically a swinging block, not a rolling block -

which one is the 32 rimfire? -- only made in 22 & 32 rimfire , so you have both --

Manufactured from 1866 to 1917, the Remington rolling-block cartridge rifle was so popular that more than half the world’s armies adopted it or purchased quantities for police or martial purposes. During the American Civil War, gunsmith Leonard M. Geiger designed the basic action, in which the shooter “rolled” the breechblock backward with the thumb and inserted a cartridge in the breech, before the block “rolled” forward and the interlocking hammer cocked in one fluid motion.
