Only 350 were made between 19, numbered from 300001 to 300350. The combination of aggressive marketing, low cost, and an excellent design led to Remington selling literally millions of Rolling Block rifles to a huge number of military forces for several decades.
The grip of the pistol frame made for a very nice target rifle, and these were sold with fancy tang mounted aperture sights. The Remington Rolling Block, introduced in 1866, was one of the most prolific single shot military rifles in the world. The only reason Remington made them was that they were built on 1871 pattern Rolling Block pistol frames, which were left over and unused in Remington’s warehouse – so why not sell them in a new configuration? The standard barrel length was 26 inches, with 24 and 28 available optionally, and they were chambered for.
They were expensive, hand fitted guns, costing $ 24 in 1903 (compared to $12 for a standard No.2 pattern Rolling Block). Remington introduced the No.7 Rolling Block in 1903, and it was the last pattern of the action to be introduced.
