Remington Rolling Block - What Model Is It?

[B_noser]

Hi,
I could use a little help.
I have a Remington rolling block action (well, most of it anyway) and a very nice butt. I have for some time been toying with the idea of using it as the basis for a BP build - most likely in 45-70, although I would dearly like to try a 40-70 Sharps Necked. I do have a lathe and mill that are up to the task - even though I may not be.

Here's the rub. I don't know what model it is. It is missing the breech block, firing pin assembly and extractor and I could use a little guidance in hunting down the parts. There may be other parts missing, but I am quite certain that's it. Once I know the model, I should be able to find a parts diagram. The trigger and hammer assembly are in good working order.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Your action is off a smokeless, non antique status, 7x57mm, model 1910, No.5 RB action rifle.

here are the parts you need -

Go to Rollingblockparts.com He has parts for the No 5 Rolling block.

Thanks mkrnel. Now I know what I am looking for and can do an inventory to confirm which parts are missing.

Thanks Willy Tincup. I was aware of Rollingblockparts.com but, without being certain of the model, I didn't know which parts to look for. Since the model does not qualify as an antique, I doubt they are able to ship action parts out of the country. Also, their prices tend to be quite dear and would likely make the project too costly. I am hoping to find used parts this side of the razor wire.

A lot of people used the breech blocks from the smokeless 1902 and 1910 No.5 RB's when doing a rebuild of a older blackpowder RB actions as it saved them bushing the firing pin hole and getting a new smaller firing pin and the steel in them was better quality and stronger.

BTW, your RB action tang has a 1901 patent date, that was what gave it away to me straight away.
