- Remington Rolling Block Model 1871 50-70 'Locking-Action' at 100 yards.
Cartridge replicating original 50-70 and packet.
The first U.S. military contract rifle made with the safety system that requires the hammer to be re-cocked after the breech block is closed before the rifle can be fired. Manufactured in 1871-72 by Springfield Armoury, utilising the design by Remington Arms Company.
The single-stage trigger pull of the review rifle, releases at an even five pounds with no perceptible creep. Case ejection is very efficient, considerably faster to shoot than standard Remington actions. The curved butt plate fits comfortably into the shoulder distributing recoil evenly.
Due to lack of space,last target of shoot used.

That's nice! 👍
Cool video, nice Remington with a bayonet... thanks for the demonstration. 👏👏
The extractor seems plenty healthy; really popping those casing out of the chamber nicely!
Custer had a Remington 50-70 rolling block at the Little Big Horn. (The rest of the 7th Cav. carried Springfield trapdoor 45-70's.) As far as I know, that gun has never surfaced. Some Indian might have thrown it in the river, or it might be in somebody's basement in Billings.
Que arma fantástica
very nice Iike it
Franklin Mcgee,Thank you for your comment. Agreed, lovely rifle.G and L A-R-West
He does not need to hit the rolling block after closing, it is clearly already latched.
John Eastman,
Action our of habit, like to make doubly sure.

i have one of those.
Hi, very much enjoy the videos....Aren't those benches the wrong way round? Seems like all the space for elbows and kit is way in front i.e. the wrong way round? Just a thought.
Kieran wh,Thank you for your comments.All the shooting benches are placed in that fashion by the NRA; don't think we can alter the orientation without altercation.Regards,G and L A-R-West
Good afternoon! I have a Remintong Rolling block 1879, here it's called fusil patria, it's was the oficial fusil for army Argentina 🇦🇷, I would like restoring it! What techniques would You recommend to Protec the metal? Thanks
Enzo D'Innocenzo,
We simply use 3-In-One Oil on all metal surfaces which in our experience preserves and cleans. It is easy to apply with a cotton cloth. When the rifle is required for use is simple to remove with a kitchen towel.
We hope this is of use to you.
Best of luck with your restoration project.
Regards,
Guy and Leonard A-R-West
any differences with the Swedish Rolling Block in your other video as far as accuracy?
Just My Name,Accuracy is the same.Regards,G and L A-R-West
I never seen one of these in person yet, just curious what would happen if you dont fully close the breech? Any stories? Would the hammer close the breech then fire it off?
Just My Name,
If the breech is not fully closed, the trigger cannot be pulled.

Tengo uno, no me interesa tenerlo
Well, how'd he do? what's the point if you're ashamed to show us the target?
Alan Peterson,The important point is we are shooting the rifle. We do not always have the luxury of time to retrieve targets as we are on a very tight schedule to get in as much range time as possible - a couple ours in the afternoon to evaluate several rifles.As ranges in the UK are limited and Bisley is the main source, obtaining a point and hoping that the weather holds, is up to luck on the day.G and L A-R-West
Oh, I didn't know you were in England. I guess you're lucky to be able to shoot at all in that place. Thanks.
What's the recoil like compared to a 12 shotgun?
minnichman
Roughly about the same.
G and L A-R-West
+Guy and Leonard A-R-West I'm gonna have to disagree there, I have one of these and the recoil is almost nothing. I'd say it's more akin to a 20 gauge.
+Kevin Nelson, A 450 grain bullet and 70 grains of black powder at 1,450 fps does provide noticeable recoil.It certainly felt akin to a 12 bore to us.G and L A-R-West
You really get that high of velocity with black powder? May I ask what brand and granulation? I've seen other reports citing 1100-1200fps with lighter bullets no less. They have really made improvements in black powder performance in the 21st century!
@@steelgila I'd like to throw in a couple hints here even though these posts are years old. ALWAYS sift your black powder before you load your cartridges. You can get precise metallic sifting mesh from a company in England. Sifting Old Eynesford FFG for instance will generally yield abt. 40% FFFG and 60% FFG. You don't want to compress unsifted Eynesford .6" in a .45-70 case behind a 500-gr. Lyman 457125, do you? Better sift. Then you KNOW what you're shooting AND you'll be more accurate. The size granulations are available online.
