The most left one is with a Lyman mould the other one is with a Seaco mould. The bullets that I use are the two left ones on the picture. The right one I all so did some paper patching with the bullets, just for the fun of it. In the past I even turned my own brass (see my pictures), the left one is the self made case and the right one is the Horneber case. This is the most cheapest and easiest way when you don’t have a choice. 50-70 brass back to 12,7x44R and turn the rim back a bit to fit the chambers. Indeed all so forming them from 348 Winchester is possible, but it is a waist of money and brass. The quality is absolutely superb and almost every one of us here prefer them above the Bertram cases. The brass can be bought in the US by Huntingtons it’s from the German manufacture Horneber. Barrel qualities like the one from ******Wallice are thankfully no exception from Husqvarna. The Husqvarna and Remington RB rifles are in abundance over here (the Netherlands), for a mint condition rifle you pay about $ 800.– and for a regular one about $ 150.– (a perfect shooter). We all so use the same bullets and size them back to. 50-70, it’s almost identical in the measurements. This rifle is just waiting to assume its position in a serious rifle collectionĬomments Off on Swedish Model 1867/89 Remington Rolling Block Rifle……….The 12,7x44R is probably one of the most used black powder cartridges today.

Two sling swivels and full length cleaning rod stored under the barrel. The butt-stock ID disk is marked as follows “19 R / B / No 1619”įinger grooves in the fore-end. Even the trigger guard is case-color hardened. 7 to 1600 ladder sights central “V” then on the back of the ladder, laid down toward the shooter 1700 to 2400 meters by the side “V” and the side mounted mid barrel band pointer. 300 to 600 open “V” stepping up the ramp. The system functions as follows 0 to 300 on the lower section with flat open “V” sight. This is calibrated with the rear ladder sights to work as a long range volley sight. This can be aligned with an almost unnoticeable extra inverted “V” on the same side of the mid barrel band.

It is a traditional ladder type rear sight, with the addition of an extra long range “V” type sight set on the RHS of the cross bar. The sights are as ingenious as the rifle is attractive to the eye.
#SCANDINAVIAN REMINGTON ROLLING BLOCK RIFLE IDENTIFICATION SERIAL NUMBER#
The butt-plate is still case hardened and carries the serial number on the top tang. Once the rifle has been fired an indicator protrudes through the top of the block and, in the dark can be felt by the thumb. The chamber is spotless and the bore looks almost unused – this weapon must have had a very short service life. The actual rolling block and the hammer are both in the white and have the serial number stamped on their sides. On opening the breech everything is clean and in good condition. On top of the breeches knox form once again is a very clear stamping of the Swedish crown, the letter “C” and the initials “G.F” and “G.M”. There appears to be a sawn off plug towards the top of the action, this is actually thought to be the result of the removal of the previous extraction parts, replacement and covering of the hole left by the operation. On the obverse side of the action the most striking number is the serial number “9768” which is then repeated on the block, the hammer, the butt-stock, the barrel, front nose-cap and the fore-end. On the side of the knox is the conversion date which is repeated on the fore-end with the inspectors initial “G.F” (Gustaf Fredrik Valdemar Fredenberg) and “G.M” (Gustaf Edvard Miller) The “1871” is the date the rifle was made and is repeated on the butt-stock. The action shows the royal Swedish crown over the “C” which indicated Carl Gustafs factory. The action as mentioned above is of the single shot Rolling Block type and has been brought to a spectacular case-hardened finish, as standard. No wasted shots there! The rifle as such was originally adopted in 1867 but were re-barreled in 1895 with the new caliber. Chambered in the Danish 8mm x 58R it is fiendishly accurate. Measuring a total of 48.1/2″ in length (without bayonet) The round blued barrel which starts from a short hexagonal knox form is 33.1/4″ in length. It has a beautiful case-hardened action and all the bluing is to such a standard that it is still completely intact. This really is a well produced and finished weapon, it is hard to imagine it used as a service weapon. A beautiful example of the Swedish adopted Remington Rolling Block
