John Wayne Production Company Remington Rolling Block Rifle M.1902Caliber: 7 x 57 mm, rimless. Price: $1750 Inventory # arc_0321 Pictures: |
DESCRIPTION: One of the few surviving Remington Rolling Block rifles that belonged to John Wayne Production Company BATJAC. The left side of the buttstock displays company's name, "BATJAC" (please, see pictures). The rifle was used in the movie "Alamo", pretending to be a flintlock, with the light alloy plate attached to its action (not included). The holes from the nails that secured the "flintlock" plate are still visible on the right side of the buttstock (please, see pictures). Most of these guns were stored in private residence in Malibu, CA, and were consequently burned in the big Malibu fire. This one was not! The rifle is in original military configuration. Three-line Remington address with a patent date is stamped on the receiver's tang, "Remington Arms Co., Ilion, N.Y. U.S.A, Patented Octr. 22nd, 1901". The caliber designation is stamped on the barrel, "Cal. 7 mm". The rear sight is graduated from 100 to 2000 m. Fixed front sight. Two piece walnut stock with a handguard. Flat style steel buttplate. Two barrel bands. The nosecap has a bayonet lug. Two military style sling swivels. Complete with original cleaning rod. The rifles of this type were ordered by many governments in South and Central America, as well as by Mexico. CONDITION: Overall in fine condition. Barrel has 95% of thin blue. Receiver, trigger guard, barrel bands and bayonet lug are in white, as a result of over cleaning. The buttplate is covered by uniform brown patina. Excellent bore with strong and shiny rifling. Mechanically perfect. Solid stocks with some handling marks, dings and scratches. The lower part of the buttplate does not fit the stock very well, and needs to be adjusted. Light alloy flintlock plate that was nailed to the stock during the production of the movie "Alamo" is not included. Scarce! A must for a John Wayne collector! C&R required. |

DESCRIPTION: Scarce Whitney-Laidley Rolling Block infantry rifle in all original condition! Only about 30.000 of such rifles were ever manufactured. They were mostly made for some Latin American countries. Few of these rifles ended up in US collections, usually in well worn condition. Three-lines Whitney address on the tang with all the patent dates, "WHITNEYVILLE ARMORY CO. PATENTED OCT 17 '65, RE-IS'D JUNE 25, '72, DEC 26, '65, RE-IS'D OCT 1, '67, MAY 15 '66, JULY 16 '72". I am not sure about the exact caliber of this rifle. Whitney rifle was manufactured in this configuration in several similar rimfire calibers,.43, .44, .45, so most likely it is one of them. Three barrel bands. Round barrel. Ramp-and-leaf rear sight graduated to 1,100 yards. Black walnut stock with oil finish. Concave butt plate. The rifle was manufactured without the bayonet lug. The upper part of the buttstock displays a brass ring with property/unit (?) markings, "18". The same number is stamped on the wood and on the buttplate (please, see pictures). Overall length: 50.25 inch. Barrel length: 34.5 inch. CONDITION: Very good to fine. Fine bore with strong and shiny rifling. The finish on the metal has turned to uniform brown color patina with occasional peppering. Stocks are in original finish. There are some dings, scratches and handling marks visible on the wood. The buttstock has couple of age surface cracks. Action works fine. The rear sight spring is cracked. The sling swivels on the front barrel band and on the front part of the trigger guard are missing. Complete with original cleaning rod. Scarce rifle for the advanced rolling block collector! Serial# 184XX. |

DESCRIPTION: Target bench rifle with a very heavy half-round half-octagonal barrel stamped "Remington". Very early and scarce target bench rifle. Manufactured in the very early period of the gun maker activity, before the mass production of Remington rifles began.

The diameter of the front of the barrel is 30 mm. The diameter of the barrel just before the octagon starts is 37 mm. The diameter of the barrel at the octagon is 41 mm. The thickness of the barrel walls at the muzzle is 8.5 mm. CONDITION: Fine, with metal covered by smooth patina. No pitting. Stock has couple of surface cracks. The finish on the stock seems to be original. The back of the barrel is predrilled for some type of target scope. Very impressive early American target bench rifle! Antique.
