What is the difference in the Winchester low wall and the high wall...is it the strength of the action??? Talk of Ballards and Winchester, and Sharps...no Remington rolling blocks the hero of the Creed's moor shoot. All forgotten like a redheaded step child!!!

"I just stopped in to say something what needs said. Howsomever, this thread has taken a most interesting turn. I feel guilty about hijacking the hijack."
Now that is funny, sorry for the hijack but have run out of places on the net to talk about single-shots.

There are a number of shooters over on the ASSRA board who would welcome a new board to post on. I wonder if Dave would consider adding a forum for single shot & classic rifles to this web site. If any of the readers seeing this post agree, perhaps a poll should be started to feel out the present membership. A positive out turn might convince Dave to agree.
Oh yeah --- got to thank all my friends and Glenn & Doug for their positive review of my scratching --- y'all are the best !

A single-shot and classic rifle forum would be awesome. But then I would get nothing done, as it is I should be working instead of checking this forum all the time. If I could talk classic rifles I'd have to put a computer in the bathroom.

Here is a picture of what I believe to be Colonel John Bodine’s Remington Rolling Block. Feel better now?

I know that gun!
Well, I don't personally but apparently it is cased with mould and bullets and back in the day, some friends of friends thrice removed owned this rifle and did some bore, bullet and mould measuring for me and other that were reinventing wheels.
We are still reinventing but had a lot of fun speculating on the stuff with that rifle.
More pictures of any accoutrements (and dimensions!!!!).
