Pedersoli Remington Rolling Block

Daboy, I'd have trouble believing that gun is $270 new. Must be a different model. Anyways, my heart was beating fast when I first saw the post because I like Remingtons. I was thinking it was a breech loader, but alas, a muzzleloader. Don't get me wrong, I love muzzleloaders but I have a couple of 54's already and don't need another at 72 years young. Now a BP cartridge RB Remington would make my day. As Jack said, if I was looking for a inline MLer that would be the one. It's one fine looking gun. Taylor's has new Remington RB's but they're around a grand.
 
Thanks guys I was wondering what was under the hammer.
I don't plan on bidding on it so if any of you guys want it, go for it. It might be an interesting rifle for distance shooting though.

Struck me as a good deal for a Pedersoli. It seems most of their guns start at $600 and go up. I've spent my gun money twice over this month and just snagged this $200 Uberti El Patron - bump and dent special: https://www.gunbroker.com/item/783534423

It looks like a good representation of a number 1 Remington action, but I agree it's a fantasy thing. If I were to ever buy an inline muzzleloader that would be it.

Actually, it is not. It has no pistol grip like the RB #1 and #1-1/2, especially the Creedmoor models. The RB #5 military was made in smokeless 7 x 57 at the turn of the century and always had a straight pistol grip.

I had one that was shipped to Uruguay in 1902 and made its way back here. I gave it a new .45-120 barrel and new wood. I tired of it after 10 years and sold it to a co-worker who was enthralled with it, and after all the work I lost much money on it, but it was a fun and educating experience.

Story of my gun life with Rolling Blocks.

I built mine from an Egyptian military no 1 action and rebarreled it for 45/70. Put mesquit wood on it and a vernier sight. Have had a lot of fun lobbing bowling balls with it. It ain't fast but it's accurate.
 
I really like the Rolling Block action, and it looks like a typically beautiful Pedersoli, but... a muzzleloader? and using caps?

Yup it's a little peculiar.

A lot of what Pedersoli markets can be remarked upon with that phrase. ;) :D

Still it gives the user an antique rifle feel, while also giving the shooter a inline system. Now for a lot of the US, that's not as good as a real rolling block with a .45-70 cartridge, or even a 7mm Mauser cartridge. :( BUT where I am on the East Coast, where the owner of such a rifle in any modern rifle cartridge can't use such to hunt deer..., this rifle would be allowed. :thumbup:

Dave, are you saying a lot of east coast states don't allow deer hunting with a modern rifle ? I've never been there but it would seem at least Maine and upstate NY would allow rifles.
 
I'm a long time fan of the Remington Rolling Block. I've owned one reproduction and two originals. Circumstances caused me to sell them but I still admire and read about them with interest. This thing is of no interest what so ever. But then I don't see the point in any in-line muzzleloader. They are a way to cheat during muzzle loading season...and I never liked cheating.

YMMV,
Dave
