Dusty Morningwood Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Following up on Utah Bob's post about front stuffers, I thought I would give us a chance to show off our rolling blocks. I have a rolling block jones, myself. Below is a photo of my collection of Swedish - and one Belgian - commercial sporting rifles. Top to bottom: Husqvarna No. 4 in 20 Gauge Rifle Husqvarna No. 1 in 12.7x44R Husqvarna No. 33 in 9.5x47R Belgian made No. 1 Action in .450-400.

Alpo Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 We got the Three Bears. The Papa Bear, the Mama Bear, and the itty bitty Baby Bear. Papa Bear is a Pedersoli, 45/70. Mama Bear is a Mexican Remington, 7x57mm. And Baby Bear is a #4 Remington, 22 Long Rifle, that I believe I got from you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have had probably half a dozen different Number 4 .22s. And I doo recall selling a nice round barrel one with good case color like yours. Yellowhouse Sam: How much is that .50-70 gonna weigh. Clearly not an offhand rifle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Gots but one, Dusty... Argentine, I believe, in .44-77 Sharps (Ha! .43 Spanish! ) Still has lots of the original tin finish... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yellowhouse Sam # 25171 Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Right at 11 lbs. I wanted it to resemble the heavier buffalo rifles in Marcots book plus to dampen recoil. The 44-77 only weighs 9.5 lbs and is vicious off the bench. Alpo said: "And Baby Bear is a #4 Remington, 22 Long Rifle, that I believe I got from you." Maybe.

Clearly not an offhand rifle! Hardpan, you could claim that and not many could argue as its the ballistic twin and chamber specs often spill over into the range of 44-77. Gots but one, Dusty...

Warden Callaway Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I just too lazy to dig them out of the safe but I have a few rollers. A Navy Arms 45/70, a 7 mm Mouser, a 43 Egyptian (I think - there is no markings). I also have several other parts of rolling block rifles including a Whitney RB with nearly all the action parts.
