Every one welcome! Please give any information about this subject Years,Patent dates,#1#1/12#2#4#6 & Husquavarna Rolling blocks Thanks

dixie gun works used to have a section in the back of thier catalog that had the country, the year and the numbers sold of the military rolling blocks if that helps you.

Thank you DeGoins I have their catalog I will look for their article .I have DeHaas Book and the second edition of single shot rifles By Grant , But would appreciate any extra info on this subject Like When Remington Stoped making the #1 and what calibers they made for the #1?

you're most welcome. oh and i have a swede roller myself that was rebarelled and restocked by rocky mt cartridge. i like it a lot.

Is yours a #1? I have a #1 that was a 7mm with Republic of Mexicana crest on top of receiver I made into a 40/65 ,another 7mm that I kept original because of it's condition , and a .43 Spanish that is in excellent condition I have been loking for a #1 to barrel for a 50/110 I made 3 actions myself from 4150 CM but at this time I have not heat treated them to be completed for barreling .

To my Ignorance ! I just found that the #1 being the same size is not a #1 when chambered for 7mm or any of the other smokless powder cartridges but a #5 Remington Rolling Block ! So I eat Crow ! so I'm now Looking for a #5 Action not a #1 DeHaas Book is lacking in this information ! Or I overlooked it somewhere ?

Mr. Brent Danielson I bow to your superior knowledge on this subject ! I am the Knot Knows! Knows NOT , www.gunbroker.com has lots of 7mm Remingtons for sale all listed as #1 Untill you Sir enlightened me That I was in error ! I never knew that a #5 existed ! I'm not above being WRONG ! I'm having Crow breakfast this morning !

concho,
my swede roller is a smokelss one. i bought it as a factory sporterised military rifle in 8mm Krag. i couldnt get it to shoot consistantly in that form so i had it restocked and rebarreld to 45-70. i really liked the configuration it was in when i got it though.

There is a book on the subject.Unfortunately I don't have the name .I only have zeroxed copies on the target pistol pages [I have one] and don't have the book name !

Thank you Guys ,I'm reading now at www.pettsons.net/remington.html Swedish rifles
