Remington Rolling Block...

Post by joseyclosey » Sat Nov 25, 2006 1:59 pm

...Model of 1866.

One of our club members brought this along to the range today.

It was manufactured by Husqvarna in 1877 for the Swedish Cavalry. They also manufactured a slightly longer version for the Artillery with a bayonet attachment provision.
