No 4 Rolling Block Take-Down Rifle…..(F 598) SOLD

.22 Take-Down Remington Rolling Block Single Shot Rifle

The condition of this sweet little Rolling Block is wonderful; both inside and out.  Fine condition Rolling Block with 22″ round barrel. Overall length 36.1/2″. Pull length 13″ to centre. Serial number stamped on underside of barrel just beyond fore-end tip, along with internal factory inspection marks.  The serial number, “354958” is clearly repeated on the LH side of the action beneath the model designation.  Two piece stock in excellent condition with original varnish. Approximately 50% blued finish remains on the barrel with light wear around the muzzle. Blued hammer and block – finish is strong, wear is minimal. Vivid case coloured action, upper tang and trigger guard. The action is the strongest cosmetic part if the whole item apart from the bore.  Plain curved steel butt-plate.

Simple adjustable “V”- notch rear sight and bead front sights set into barrel. Top flat of barrel marked with “Remington / TRADE MARK.” between rear sight and breech. Forward of the rear sight is the following marking; “REMINGTON ARMS CO. INC, REMINGTON / ILION, WORKS, ILION, N.Y. MADE IN U.S.A.” The calibre is marked adjacent to the rear marking on the LHS radius of the barrel; “22 SHORT LONG OR LONG RIFLE.”  Take-down slotted screw on RHS of action to release barrel. Weapon holds together well no rattle or shake. Pulling the block to the rear actuates the ejector. Excellent bore devoid of pitting, damage or corrosion with strong clear rifling.  Slightest lightening of tone to the muzzle face which wouldn’t effect the weapons performance in a negative way.  I have personally shot this weapon and it impressed me with its accuracy.

This little rifle would make a superb addition to any serious rifle collection.
