    Remington Rolling Block rifles

    I currently have 2 43 Egyptian Remington rolling block rifles, dies and some ammo that I have made from 50 cal. Sharps brass. I am trying to see if there is an interest from anyone in buying these from me. I also have a Remington rolling block in 7mm mauser. I believe the 43's are #1 and the 7mm is a #5. I know the 43's are black powder only and the 7mm is capable of loading commercial powder. I also have brass, dies and bullets for this rifle.
    I have shot all three rifles and they shoot ok, I just never worked with them long enough to improve anything.

    I have somewhat of an idea what these are worth, but not publishing a price right now, I had rather see the interest first. I have 2 full sets of dies and shellholders for the 43 Egyptians. One of the sets of dies, I used to load and form the cases. The other set of dies have never been set up or used. I was going to give one to my brother-in-law and a rifle, but I changed my mind.

    Well, maybe you should include your location on your profile and maybe someone locally will take you up on it.

    I don't suspect that trying to get around the rules on post count / time on the forum will work out nicely for you.

    Most people don't want to deal with someone who does not have a post count history and is not local.
    Home is where the RV is...

    Kind of ironic, don't ya' think?

    Most who do this sort of thing are trying to skirt the rules. This one has received a perma-ban for his attempt.

    Oh well... With a single post to his name before getting banned, does that make him a "one hit wonder"?

    Does a ban go to a name that can keep getting changed or IP address?

    When I had a forum set up, I would ban IP address ranges of spammers as I encountered them. They were usually in Russia or Nigeria and I guess theoretically I might have banned some good people in the process, but I doubt it. I suspect that most forums just ban a name (which has an email address associated with it). To come in under a new name, they need a new email address. Not exactly that difficult to do. IP addresses can change also even if you do not do anything on your part to cause that to happen. I seem to remember an option on my DSL modem configuration page to have it request a new IP address and of course, there are services out there that provide IP addresses for you so that your real IP address does not show up.

    I ban IP addresses daily on a car forum I moderate. Always because of spammers selling jewelry, appliances, etc. They have so many IP addresses, and names they simply come back in a day or two to repeat the same spam. It gets tiring, as they never seem to get tired!
