I know nothing about these rifles but they interest me and I've been thinking of picking one up. If someone wants to school me on them that'd be great. I'd like to know when I'm looking at them what to look for so I don't end up with a piece of junk that I can't shoot. Seems like there is lots of different models of them and condition and price is all over the place. I've found one I'm going to look at this weekend. Its listed as Remington Model 1867 Rolling Block Navy Rifle, 50-40 cal. In the pictures it looks to me like its been refinished, almost looks like parkerizing to me. Since I'm looking for a shooter and not a collection piece, something to plink and play with I'm not worried about it being refinished just would prefer a more traditional finish. I know the subject and my question on these rifles is probably to broad for anyone to answer in any detail but what ever you feel like sharing with me, feel free. Thanks
