Looking for an action and butt stock from 7MM Remington to make into 50/110 Rifle No Junk Please ! Location PA USE MY E-Mail not forum to send pictures if answering !

huh? 7 mm Rem? I think you want a #5 Roller often found in some sort of 7mm (mauser?), but not 7 Rem I think.

Anyway, I have a Husquvarna roller - it has a barrel on it (.50-110) that is good for only tomato staking. But the action is good. No wood.

Let me know at brentD@iastate.edu if you are interested.

Brent Try looking at the heading 1 It states 1902 to 1917 Rem/Roll/Blk or are you so fast to start a pissing contest that you can't read ?

concho,
I really really don't know what I did to ruin your day, but trust that you have now ruined mine.

I have no idea of what years the #5 Rem Roller was made. So far as I know Rem Rolling Blocks are models 1, 1.5, 2, 4, and 5. Only the last ever came in anything remotely 7 mm. The Huskie is a copy of that last one. The #5 is often prefered, along with the Huskie for it's higher grade steel and abilities to handle pressure. It's years of manufacture, I have not bothered to realize.

Now, I'll leave you to your little temper tantrum and I'll try to remember not to offer you anything again. I thought I was posting to a grownup. My mistake.

God what I would give for a little precision earthquake in your living room...

Brent,

play nice now!

Concho, why not take a look at the Wickliffe actions Tomo577 is offering? Much stronger, better looking (esthetics) and a good trigger. IMHO you will be much happier with the Wickliffe as the basis for a custom stalking rifle.

Thanks Idaho I sent them a letter and it came back without a reply I was interested in the action only , Brent what do you want for your action with internal parts No Barrel ?

I sent you an email - the price is in it. The barrel comes with it, because it is worth nothing to me, nor anyone else. I can't take it off with any tools that I have in my shop, so I'd have to charge extra to have someone else take it off. The price is for the action. The barrel is free.

I also included in that email that the roller you want, is in fact a #5 Remington and that it came in 7mm Spanish Mauser, and no other flavor of 7mm. It is the only Rem roller that came in any flavor of 7 mm. The #1 and #1.5 actions that you specified in your email were discontinued long before 1902 and were never ever designed for smokeless. Nor were they made of special steels for smokeless as the #5 was. Hence, my first post was right on the mark. You ought to read Grant's first book, Chapter III. I gave the full citation in my email.

The Huskie action is supposed to be just as strong as the Rem #5 from what I have been told. I have not seen any written reference to this fact however. George at Treebones carves a pattern specifically for the Huskie roller and seems enamored of them. You might ask him more about that model.

The action is fully functional and has a pretty decent trigger for a roller. Better than the Remingtons in my experience.

Your move.

To all who read this thread ! Brent Danielson was correct about the #5 Remington ! I was in Error ! His superior Knowledge on this subject helped me learn that all the books you have don't mean their not in error I have the second edition of Grants book no mention of #5 that I could find , Brent has the first edition and clearly there is a #5 I'm having Crow for breakfast Mr Danielson I humbly apologize!!!

Conch check out the forums at assra.com, therre has been considerable recent discussion of the No. 5 Rem and the Husq rollers. The general consensus is that they are not suitable for hot modern cartridges, notwithstanding that the Rem at least was made in several smokeless calibres. But it should be OK for 50-110 if you use moderate loads.

Lone Star offers modern replicas of the No. 5. Original smokeless rolling blocks were made in 7.62x53R, .303, .30-40, and even 8 Lebel. I do not know how long the actions could take those fatter military rounds. Of course, armies don't care about case life, and a springy action could make for Very Short case life. The .50's were offered in the original BP rollers, and those had steels much weaker than the later models (or the modern replicas).

Thank You Guys , One of the members of the gun club I belong to Just Blew up his Rem Roller Fortunately he was not injured , Rolling block split and almost went in his face, He was using smokless on a #1 action [Not a #5] It's repairable but he is leary now to shoot it again .

Any particular reason why the RRB failed?
Could it have been reloaded ammo or was it possibly rebarrelled for an inappropriate cartridge?

The guy had a 45/70 and the action is a#1 made for Black powder , He loaded Smokless, and the rolling block split apart the action is ok but needs a new pin and a new roller then re head spaced , he has junked it !
