Remington Rolling Block rifle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Remington Rolling Block rifle produced by E. Remington and Sons (later Remington Arms Company) was one of two rifles probably used more than any other by the buffalo hunters who exterminated the American bison herds in the 1870s and 1880s. The other rifle was the Sharps Rifle.
