For sale is a Remington No. 6 – single-shot, rolling block rifle chambered in .22 cal. Serial number- S60388.

The Remington-Rider rolling block rifle is a 19th century design, patented around 1863 by a Remington employee named Leonard Geiger and improved over the next few years by Joseph Rider, who was the Remington factory superintendent.

Remington Rolling block single shot rifles were produced throughout the latter decades of the 19th Century and the first decades of the 20th Century.

All Remington rolling block rifles use the same basic principle of design, which is a pivoting or hinged breechblock pinned to the receiver below the axis of the barrel and ahead of the breech.

It is, however, smooth and reliable. And Remington rolling block rifles on all action sizes have always had a good reputation for accuracy. V1-G1 Barrel Length: 20 Bore condition: Good
