Yep, you should see the shadow of the shoulder when viewed from the breech.

Here's a couple more sites. This one has a library or subforum under each major heading and has a lot of info. The Dark Side, Casting and Reloading, and Billy Dixon forums will be of interest. http://www.theopenrange.net/forum/ http://www.cascity.com/forumhall/index.php/board,77.0.html Then there is...

If you're talking about the Rollers and the 40-70 Remington BN it is slightly different at the shoulder than the Sharps version. Other than lathe turned brass from Rocky Mountain Cartridge, the only source I know of for either is stretched and reformed 45-70 cases available from Buffalo Arms (BACO)....

Ones I've seen will chamber any FL sized round so its really not a problem. Now if we're out on the buffalo range and you try to use some of my reloads in your rifle, whether the same make or not, there might be a problem cause they didn't have FL sizers back then. However, that scenario holds for m...

44-77 Rem and 44-77 sharps are one and the same. There is argument about who came up with it first. However, be aware that chamber dimensions will vary. For sure, they didn't share reamers and there were no SAAMI specs. I've heard some argue that the RS can mean the 44-77 loaded with 90 gr of BP but...

Nice deer! I just don't have the guts to pour any smokeless whatsoever through mine.

Remington generally stamped the barrel .44S denoting 44-77 and 44RS to designate their 44-90. However, only a chamber cast will tell you for sure.

44-77?

load specs?

Nice deer!

Hard to locate but I found two of them by searching for Remington sporting.

I'd advise putting "Rolling Block" in the title. You'll get more hits that way.

Just sayin.

If ya put em on Gunbroker please give me a heads up.

I suspect its after market and in silver. A jeweler can tell you though. Nice rifle. Is it 44-77?

Final question is where the heck are you finding all these?

no pics.

Beautiful rifle but I can't get the pics to pop up to full size

What caliber?

It does... but very little in it pertains to guns made before the 1888 bankruptcy. There are important things like the inventory of the company collection and a small amount of general information relating to the quantities military rifles shipped but nothing like what you seem to be looking for.
