Remington Model 6 22 Cal Rimfire Rifle

The Remington-Rider rolling block rifle is a 19th century design, patented around
1863 by a Remington employee named Leonard Geiger and improved over the
next few years by Joseph Rider, who was the Remington factory superintendent.
By 1866 the Remington-Rider rolling block rifle had evolved.

Remington Rolling block single shot rifles were produced throughout the latter
decades of the 19th Century and the first decades of the 20th Century. I believe that
the last (.22 rimfire) rolling block rifles were discontinued during W.W. II.

All Remington rolling block rifles use the same basic principle of design, which is a
pivoting or hinged breechblock pinned to the receiver below the axis of the barrel
and ahead of the breech.
The traditional exposed hammer placed behind the rolling block must be manually
cocked for every shot.

This unit has seen a long life - Bluing is gone and a mottled finish remains all over
the metal Much small pitting is seen.
The action works but is very stiff to operate.

The stock is loose on the connect to the receiver. All appears orginal and no actual
cracks are seen anywhere on the wood.

Gun does cock and fire.. Has take down screw below receiver housing.
