[@Bruciando]

Er, range time w/ a Rolling Block I mean. Sorry, that came out a little wrong. BTW, the French generals were big on "L'esprit" & felt that the soldiers just needed to get a couple rounds off & close w/ the enemy w/ their bayonets [leading to the huge losses the French suffered early in the war, trying to assault German machine gun positions on foot. The Germans of course, obliged the stupidity of the French generalship by teaching the French soldiers how to dance the Spandau Ballet...] So anyway, the French probably considered their guards to be extremely well armed with the RB, since they still considered the primary purpose of the rifle was the pointy bit attached to the end of the barrel... ::)

That's an interesting comment. Nowadays, neither "side" in the Gun Wars speaks much to how guns used to be seen in America, as tools. Every rural family had a gun, maybe 2, and they were typically single-shot rifles and shotguns. They were meant for snakes, rodents, and like you said, food on the table. And sure, home defense, but that was more an afterthought or "given". Good comment.

I've got a model 4 in .32 rimfire. I used it a bit back when I could get ammo for it. I noticed you loaded the shell with your right hand. I always used my left hand and found it very easy and fairly quick to load that way. The right was unloading while the left was acquiring a shell. But I'm sure the larger shell you were using is not as easy to manage as the little .32.

Man I have wanted to get my hands on a rolling block since I was what, probably 10 years old, and dad bought me a toy rolling block cap rifle. She was made out of mostly tin I would guess, but she looked and loaded like a real one, even came with some wooden bullets. Buddy of mine had one that he built up in 45-70 with a beautiful schutzen type walnut stock, and blued up to almost S&W pistol quality. Man she was a beauty and she could shoot like nobody's business.

[@The_Conspiracy_Analyst]

These were commercially available at least by 1866. Nelson Story equipped his party with Rolling Blocks on his famous cattle drive to Montana in that year. Nelson Story's party passed through Leavenworth Kansas in June of 1866, where Nelson purchased 30 Remington Rolling block rifles in .56-.50 Spencer rimfire. It was a good thing they did, because they did end up using the rifles to defend themselves from a raid by Red Cloud's warriors.

Interestingly enough Spanish rolling blocks in the hands of Spanish reserve troops would face off against the Springfield Trapdoor in the hands of American National Guard troops.

[@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

One of my instructor in school was given access to some stripped Rolling Block receivers. Someone offered them, he said "how many do you have" and the guy responded "how many do you want?" He only snagged two, but he immediately started to work on a custom build, ~28" hexagonal barrel, chambered in .45-110 (because reasons). I'm not sure what type they were, only that they had the ejector feature, and were supposed to have been chambered in 7x57mm before they were stripped, so obviously not an uber-old model since they were smokeless.

Othais, if you ever get to St Louis, visit Grants Farm. The perimeter if the homestead entry is the most Civil War barrels you'll see.

If you ever watch the Clydesdale hitch ride through a gate during the commercial, you have seen the barrels.

[@karlkleimenhagen9918]

This was interesting; thank you. Case stretching was mentioned, along with the possibility of a chamber recut for Balle N. I'm not sure the two would be related, though. The Lebel is a wide cartridge at fairly high pressure, and it may simply be too much for the long, springy rolling block action.

I have a rolling block pistol. However the cable design is different. At the end of the handle, it has a metal cap with a ring. The barrel is hexagonal at the beginning and round at the end.

[@doraran5158]

Contemporary accounts note that some soldiers would cock hammer, then retract block with little finger of right hand, ejecting empty, then with fresh round already held by thumb and forefinger, would chamber round, then push block closed with heal of hand. Basically theses are posterior/anterior sweeps with hand minimizing the contortions with the normal method of working rifle. With a bit of practice, it's surprising how rapid this single shot can fire. (Of course with loose rounds, readily available, like from prone or stationary positions.) Also, are the 7x57mm safe with modern ammo?

I’ve only held and dry cycled a rolling and a falling block or two; but LOVE the action (mayb even more than a magazine cut off…). I was always a better target pistol shot than rifle shot. IF I wasn’t old and broke, if someone made a modern single shot rolling block hunting pistol for me… SMILES!

[@Raishikaku]

I have to say as a combat rifle due to rate of fire caused by reloading times. The rifle is best suited for defensive positions, not open ground. It also is more then likely better in Vollie fire situations rather then single combat.

[@fdmackey3666]

Cripes Matt Hall, lighten up....Neither one of us was there....Even though, by virtue of my date of birth, I come closer to it than I suspect you do. Attila Rischt, you are correct, if one were to take the time to research JUST what ANY war was/is called, many if not all, can be and often are identified by various names depending on what part of the world a writer or speaker is/was from and/or generation.

[@fdmackey3666]

Magni56, the true, main reason, for the war was taxation of imports and exports from the South and the withholding of manufacturing and technological advances from the South (the cotton gin, and machines that could pick cotton faster and more efficiently than any humans could hope to on their best day are good examples)....Pretty much what the American Revolution was all about only the "kings" of the day controlled the railroads, steel production, etc. and wanted to keep those industries under their control at all costs. Please, in the future, take the time and effort to research actual historical records before making comments that are so easily refuted by facts. By the way, I found it interesting, and more than a bit disturbing, to discover that more people of color were lynched in New York City during the war than at any time in any part of the South in the decades following the war...Mainly because New Yorkers did not support "Mr. Lincoln's War" as it was frequently referred to at the time in the Northern press. So, in the end, the war might be best referred to today as the War of Northern Greed. and I also find it fascinating that more slaves were brought to these shores by ships and sea captains from Northern states and delivered to Northern ports than to those in the South...And then there were the rather large number of slaves held in bondage in the North even after they were supposedly "freed" by Lincoln . In addition, most of todays clueless products of our failed education system, are unaware that the Constitution of the Confederate States of America, unlike the Constitution of the United States of America as it was worded at the time, specifically outlawed slavery. I find that interesting on several levels. You should also be aware of the fact that ONLY those slaves held in "free" states were actually freed by Lincoln and then only in the hopes that freed slaves would flock to enlist in the Union Army....Which many did only to be treated as second or even third class soldiers and used as "cannon fodder" by their Union Army leaders whenever the "need" arose. Such treatment of men of color who volunteered for service continued unabated until the late 1940s and only "ended" then upon the direct orders of President Truman. All of the above, and much more, is easily located and researched for one's self at many of the larger libraries both public and university as well as many brick and mortar book stores with decent sized U.S. history sections.
