New to me rolling block.

[Remmy4477]

Got this one off GB.

Looks ugly but tight, tightest roller I've ever handled. I believe it originally may have been a standard rifle. Cut? down to 20&1/2 inches, real good bore (43 spanish), and a modified forearm with the filled cleaning rod channel. Top of barrel is stamped FN. Rotary extractor.

Trigger pull is decent, I pulled the stock and it looks like the trigger spring has been worked on a bit. Need to take it down and give it a good cleaning and going over.

So here's my base for a reline to 44-40. Been wanting a single shot for cowboy silhouette, this should fit right in for the pistol and rifle cartridge shoots.

Where's a good gunsmith in Colo when you need one? LOL.

Gotta love an old roller!

Looks like a #5 action, never seen one in 43 Spanish. Most were 7X57. Should be fine in 44-40. If it were mine I would probably go with a new barrel at 26" long.
