Remington Model 4

[Powderfinger61]

For me this is the rifle ive dreamed of...ive been searching for years and today ive finally found it.

This was my grandfathers rifle and i will cherish this firearm.
Remington Model 4 chambered in (rare) 25 Stevens or (25-10)
22.5 in octagon barrel, rolling block all original with a shiny bore

Very nice! Have you got plans to get some ammo and do some shooting?

I am quite fond of the rollers and have the same gun in a 32RF but its quite rough and the barrel is loose. Still on the rebuild list for sure.

very very nice.I've been bitten by the same bug-got a Husqvarna RB in .22 short,and now an 8x58R built in 1876[10 years before my grandfather was bornand the year Custor was killed on the Little BigHorn].Thats a piece of real history .
Just got the dies yesterday,so now I have to fireform brass and shoot it.

As luck would have it, i found a box of Stevens 25 Short. i had purchased these sometime in the early 90s during my travels in the USA.
It didnt take me long to out and fire a couple rounds. The little shells fired without a hitch. The shells are very scarce so i dont think i will be sitting down for a long range session sighting in this vintage firearm.

Any chance you could make brass from some other cut down and reformed .25 cal centerfire brass and use .22 blanks for primers?
