I know this is not much info but I just saw what appears to be an unmarked Remington Rolling Block at a yard sale for an asked for price of $195.00. It has no bluing left with a slightly more than a patina of rust, it appears to be complete except for a groove beneath the barrel in the stock that looks as if a loading or cleaning rod might have gone there. It is approximately 40-45 caliber but I can find no markings, The stock is complete and in poor condition with a steel buttplate.
What is it worth? I have no idea so any thoughts would help. The action is free and seems to solidly lock up and the firing pin (centerfire) appears to be operational, the original sights are present and the bore is rusty. If it is a 45-70 I would like to be able to shoot it, my wife says she likes the looks of it for over the fireplace but I would only like it IF I can shoot it, no matter what the caliber....<><....
