Shooting a friend's #Pedersoli #Rolling #Block rifle in .45-70. The barrel itself is like 15 pounds so it tames the .45-70 fairly decently. A wonderful single shot rifle. Thanks Stan!
I bought a new in the white action from Navy Arms back in the 80s then started to add the parts made it a 45-70, still have it.........If you don't hammer the rolling block back so hard trying to "eject" spent cases with the extractor , you won't have to alway set it forward, just ease the roller back, the case will pull out enough to grab easy and the extractor will be far enough forward to slide the new round in while the rim grabs the extractor.
This no doubt would be a heavy rifle to pack and carry while on foot. On horseback it may be different. Especially if the owner was hunting elk, moose, caribou, buffalo (bison) and had a string of pack animals, like a mule for instance.
I have had two of the original Remingtons, one was converted to 45-70 and the one I have now is still an original in 7mm. Either the Pedersoli is a piece of crap or it's having serious operator problems? Anyway, all the Buffalo are safe! That extra step in loading it kinda slows things down!
If you don’t mind my asking, how tall are you? I am making a prop Rolling Block and feel like most of my reference photos are of people much larger then me but you seem closer to average/my height.
I recently purchased one of these and was unable to locate the serial number. Any chance you know where it is inscribed? Also, are you shooting modern, smokeless powder ammo in this model?
This was the rifle I hunted with when I was a kid. Dad used a Budapest, I used the .45-70 rolling block.
That's the only Gov't *I* trust.
Watching you forget to reset the extractor over and over again really messed with me XD
That extractor can be fixed....it's PIA to have to keep fiddling with it every time you load a round into the chamber.

Awesome gun!
Love the 45-70 Gov't!
Keep up the good vids👍
Maybe if you didn't slam the breach block open so hard you wouldn't have that problem with the extractor.

Nice rifle! A classic.
Looked like you were shooting a hand cannon. Lol That is one sweet rifle. Is that a reproduction?

I wonder how many men died fumbling because .45-70 is straight-walled. I'd bet anything it's a non-zero number.
Belo rifle

Thinking of picking up a Tippman Arms rolling block. Anyone have hands on one before?
Hola, buenas noches
Que calibre es esa arma?
Que tipo de bala o tiro usa?
45-70 Gov't
One look, and you know it's designed for black powdered cartridges.
Whats the approx value on that gun?
description says it‘s a Pedersoli repro, since it‘s used the value would be a little under MSRP.
