A near mint, Remington Argentine military contract 'Rolling Block' infantry rifle in .43 Spanish Obsolete Centre Fire Calibre.

The action tang has Remington’s patents (illustrated). It is complete with sling swivels and steel cleaning rod. It's loading and firing actions work crisply. The price includes UK delivery. As an antique obsolete calibre rifle no licence is required to own this item in the UK if retained as part of a collection or display. Sn 20915
