Remington M1879 Argentine rolling block military rifle. Typical state of condition with fine arsenal refinished surfaces. 36" round barrel. .43 caliber. Adapted for sabre bayonet. Remington marking on frame tang mostly visible, showing some wear to the top line. Metal parts have a very fine arsenal blued finish, having dust in places from storage and a small amount of rust on the left side of the breech. Stock is very good as refurbished, wood is still proud to the metal in most places, showing a few scattered moderate handling marks, a small crack to the forearm in front of the right side of the frame, and a small lateral crack in right side of forearm forward of upper band. Mechanically good, sold as a collector item only, not warranted safe to shoot.
