Overview
The Uberti 1871 Remington Rolling Block is a modern reproduction of the classic single-shot, breech-loading Remington rolling block rifle. Built by Italian replica maker A. Uberti, it recreates the strong rolling-block action in which a pivoting breech block and an exposed hammer interlock to seal the chamber. Offered in period and modern chamberings including .45-70 Government, .357 Magnum, .45 Colt and .22 Long Rifle, it is aimed at cowboy-action shooters, hunters and black-powder cartridge enthusiasts.
