Re: Remington rolling block -additional information

Re: Military Rolling Blocks in the Movies
Never thought about bringing this up, but one first Western productions I started acting in (at age 52!!) was HBO's Deadwood in 2003, and was the only actor on set, carrying a Rolling Block, for the 3 or 4 episodes at least. The first of several scenes that comes to mind is in the first episode when...

Re: The New Collector's Guide of the Military Rolling Block
I can assure you he was pleased you sold it to him but take heart as I have the same feeling because the other one shown was once mine and have not found another since...and mine went to Tom in 1998! On the plus side having the pleasure of knowing 99% of those RBs I sold went to Tom or my cousin Jud...
