Remington Rolling Block value?

[bigbob76]

I posted on this last year and forgot all about it. I may have an opportunity to trade it for a Colt 1911 and was wondering if somebody could give me an idea about the value of this. I'm guessing I will have to add money to this to get the Colt in trade. Thanks, Bob

I've been reading that handloads only should be fired in these. I'm not sure I'll ever ever shoot this but I would like to know more about it. It has this info behind the hammer on the stock tang: REMINGTON ARMS CO. ILION.N.Y.U.S.A. PATENTED OCTR. 22ND 1901. On the barrel in front of the band is CAL. 7 M.M. The rifling looks strong but I haven't even run a patch through it yet. It has a 30 inch barrel. Do we have any resident experts here that can bring me up to speed on this?

Remington in 7x57mm Mauser.

I know Mexico ordered a bunch of them in that caliber before the Revolution when Diaz ruled the country.

A post-1899 model can go anywhere from $200-750. From what I have seen.



Too bad you seemed to have a trade lined up for that, or else I would be begging for it.

I did a couple of searches and saw some in not near as good of condition as mine selling for a lot more than the battered one that actually sold for $895.

I never thought about letting it go until I saw a Colt 1911 that a guy wants to trade for a Rolling Block. He hasn't answered my message yet. You know how it is, it's not like I actually need another 1911 but it's a Colt and...

But, but it's a nice military Remington Rolling Block in 7mm.

Unless that is a nice 1911, I would advise keeping it.

Your rifle, do what you want.

But me soooo jealous.

Ah yes, mine cost $4.95 in 1957 - Got it from Ye Olde Hunter in alexandria virginia --Pretty good investment --

We used to be able to buy them by the pound!

Yours is a No. 5 Military Rolling Block of the 1902 pattern. The majority of these were sold to Mexico or South American countries. Smokeless action with the rotary extractor. The butt stock has been sanded a bit.

Looks in decent shape for shooting.
