Mexican Rifle possible Remington.

[BigMik1]

Hello Everyone,

Here is pictures of the Mexican Rifle we have at the Museum. I think it's a Mexican Remington Rolling Block. The receiver displays a Mexican crest with wording, "Republica Mexicana" under it. If you have any additional info on it will be helpful.

Thanks for your help,

Yup.
Looks like a Remington No 5 rolling block, model of 1897 or maybe 1902 depending upon extractor design, made for Mexico in caliber 7x57mm Mauser.

Thanks everyone on the info on this rifle, we can make a nice bio for it. What would this rifle be worth??

It appears to be worn but complete and original. I would say several hundred dollars. A close appraisal would require a personal inspection by somebody more into the wheeling and dealing than me.
