Remington Rolling Block barrel ?

oldcars · December 17, 2011, 04:12 PM

I just bought an old beat-up Rolling block at a gun show and I plan to build a 45-70(I think) out of the action. Does anyone know of a decent place to buy budget priced octagon barrel blanks? also, any idea what shank size a Military 7x57 Rolling block is so I know what outside dimention barrel to look for?

Thanks!

Gun Parts Corporation used to sell barrels and conversion kits for the Rolling block rifles as well as complete new rifles.

You can buy barrel blanks from Brownell's, Dixie Gun Works, and many of the companies that sell black powder builders supplies.

Just remember to keep your loads to trapdoor levels. The RB is a real fun gun, but not the strongest action, the block can allow severe case stretching or worse. Goatwhiskers
