    Spanish Oviedo Remington Rolling block Rifle Value

    Hello,

    The rifle has the Spanish crown and 1876, everything appears original as best I can tell.

    I see no "R" near the receiver/barrel junction, so assume it is still in the original .43 Spanish caliber. Action is tight, with a very crisp hammer, barrel has strong rifling. There is some pitting on the the exterior of the barrel in several places. Please see photo's to help with the evaluation. Your help with the rifles value in USD is appreciated, thank you.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    A very rough guess: about 300. Plus/minus, depending on what you want it for (a shooter, or decoration). Obvious a heavy minus for the split and generally mashed-up fore-end around the Bubba-ed cross-bolt.


    "... so assume it is still in the original .43 Spanish calibre..."


    NEVER assume that, especially not for an ancient BP rifle. And not even if the chambering is stamped on the barrel. Rolling Blocks went around the world, and were often pragmatically reamed out to take whatever ammo was available locally.

    Thanks Patrick. FWIW, I think the cross bolt is unique to this rifle as it came from the factory.

    Cheers.

    Did you get it, or are you still negotiating?
