'''Remington Rolling Block''' is a family of breech-loading rifles that was produced from the mid-1860s into the early 20th century by [[E. Remington and Sons]] (later [[Remington Arms]]).<ref name="Rattenbury2014">{{cite book |last= Rattenbury|first= Richard C. |date=October 22, 2014 |title= A Legacy in Arms: American Firearm Manufacture, Design, and Artistry, 1800–1900|url= https://books.google.com/books?id=-HUCBQAAQBAJ|publisher=[[University of Oklahoma Press]] |page=87 |isbn=9780806147796}}</ref>

These rifles were made in a variety of calibers, both rimfire and centerfire, including the 12.17x42 mm rimfire, 12.17x44 mm rimfire and 12.17x44 mm rimmed centerfire Swedish and Norwegian cartridges, [[.43 Spanish]] (11.15x58mmR), [[.50-70 Government|.50-70]], .40-70, [[.45-70]] and later in [[.22 caliber]].  Later models were produced in [[.30-03]] (Predecessor to .30-06), [[7×57mm Mauser]], and [[8×50mmR Lebel]].

==Development==
[[File:Remington Rolling Block.jpg|thumb|left|Rolling-block breech]]

The Remington Rolling Block was developed from the 1863 pattern [[.50 calibre]] split breech carbine issued to the [[US Cavalry]] during the [[American Civil War]]. This earlier weapon was designed by Joseph Rider and Leonard Geiger to fire the same cartridges as the [[Spencer carbine]].<ref>[https://www.americanrifleman.org/articles/2016/5/16/remington-goes-to-war/ Remington goes to war]</ref> The split breech rifle lacked a hammer spur because it [[double action|self-cocked]] when the breechblock was opened.<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=XqREDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA126 NRA guns]</ref> Either 1864 or 1865, Remington Engineer Joseph Rider improved the split breech design to create the [[rolling-block]] action which was named the "Remington System".<ref name="Rattenbury2014"/><ref>{{Cite book|last=Sawyer|first=Charles Winthrop|title=Firearms in American History: Our Rifles|year=1920|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=TYlCAAAAIAAJ|publisher=The Author|pages=260}}</ref>

The medium-strength [[Action (firearms)|action]] developed some [[Headspace (firearms)|headspace]] issues with new [[smokeless powder]]s coming into use by the late 1890s. A heavier-style action was produced for later smokeless cartridges, although there were still issues with some ammunition.{{cn|date=March 2024}}

==Military use==
{{More citations needed|section|date=August 2021}}

===Sweden and Norway===
In 1867, the [[United Kingdoms of Sweden and Norway]] was the first military to adopt the rifle as the standard military rifle. Around 250,000 military rifles and carbines and 85,000 civilian rifles in Sweden, were produced under license by [[Carl Gustafs Stads Gevärsfaktori]] and [[Husqvarna Vapenfabriks Aktiebolag]], and about 53,000 rifles in Norway by [[Kongsberg Gruppen|Kongsberg Vaapenfabrik]].
{{main|Remington M1867}}

In 12.17×42mmRF and 12.18×44mmRF (two cartridges that were interchangeable), and towards the end of its service life also 8×58mmR Danish Krag centerfire, the rolling-block served as the standard service rifle of the Swedish Army from 1867 to the mid-1890s, when it was replaced by the [[Swedish Mauser]]. In Norway it was the standard service rifle from 1867 to the mid-1880s, when it was replaced by the [[Jarmann M1884|M1884 Jarmann]]. In .43 Spanish it was the chief [[Service rifle|service arm]] of the Spanish Army from 1869–1893, and was used by reserve and militia forces for many years thereafter.  Many rolling-block rifles were used by Argentina before being replaced in 1891 by the new 7.65mm Mauser, and were also widely used by Egypt and Mexico. 

===Denmark===
Like Sweden and Norway, Denmark adopted the rifle in 1867 in 11×41,5mmRF ([[11 mm caliber]]).<ref>{{cite web |title=Cartridge: Danish Remington |url=http://www.arma-dania.dk/public/timeline/_ad_patroner_view.php?editid1=6 |website=Arma Dania: The Virtual Museum of Danish Arms and Armour |access-date=19 July 2018 |archive-date=20 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180720022529/http://www.arma-dania.dk/public/timeline/_ad_patroner_view.php?editid1=6 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Initially the [[Royal Danish Army]] bought 40,000 rifles and 1800 [[carbines]] in the United States between 1867–1868. Later 31,551 rifles and about 4,600 carbines were made at the government owned rifle factory in Copenhagen. Production was halted in 1888 and the last rifles were decommissioned in 1940.<ref>{{cite web |title=Bagladeriffel af model 1867 (Remington) |url=http://www.arma-dania.dk/public/timeline/_ad_gevar_view.php?editid1=84 |website=Arma Dania: The Virtual Museum of Danish Arms and Armour |access-date=19 July 2018 |archive-date=20 July 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180720022508/http://www.arma-dania.dk/public/timeline/_ad_gevar_view.php?editid1=84 |url-status=dead }}</ref> In Danish service it was replaced by the M/1889 [[Krag–Jørgensen]].

===Great Britain and France===
The [[British Empire]] purchased rolling-blocks to arm the Egyptian Army during the 1870s. These were made in [[Liège]], Belgium, in [[.43 Egyptian]] calibre and were issued with a [[sword bayonet]]. Rolling-block rifles were used against [[Muhammad Ahmad]]'s [[Ansar (Sudan)|Ansar]] [[Dervish]]es during the [[Mahdist War]],  including at the [[Siege of Khartoum]] where [[Charles George Gordon|General Gordon]] met his end.<ref>[http://www.iwm.org.uk/collections/item/object/30027046 Egyptian Remington]</ref> Guns with decorative brass [[Islamic crescent]]s and Arabic inscriptions on the [[buttstock]] are not uncommon on the collector's market.<ref>[https://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/112347-egyptian-remington-rolling-block Collectors weekly]</ref><ref>[https://www.oldammo.com/november08.htm Old Ammo]</ref>

The French acquired 210,000 Egyptian rolling-block rifles to make up for a shortage of the standard-issue [[Chassepot]] and [[Tabatière rifle]]s during the [[Franco-Prussian War]].{{sfn|Mercaldo|Firestone|Vanderlinden|2011|p=165}}

During World War I, the British Royal Navy purchased 4,500 rolling-block rifles in [[7mm Mauser]] from Remington's leftover stock after production had ended, issuing them to the crews of minesweepers and [[Q-ship]]s.{{sfn|Mercaldo|Firestone|Vanderlinden|2011|p=168}} In November 1914, production of the rolling-block was resumed, in the form of a French contract for rifles in [[8×50mmR Lebel]], designated by France as "Fusil Remington modèle 1914". 100,291 such rifles were delivered by 1916, and used to equip rear-line troops.{{sfn|Mercaldo|Firestone|Vanderlinden|2011|p=169}}

==Civilian use==
Along with the [[Sharps rifle]], the Rolling Block was one of two rifles probably used more than any other by the [[buffalo hunter]]s who hunted the American bison herds in the 1870s and 1880s.<ref>{{cite book |last= Worman |first= Charles G.|date= 2005|title=Gunsmoke and Saddle Leather: Firearms in the Nineteenth-century American West |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=qBskZwaPOT0C |publisher= UNM Press|page= 292-294|isbn=9780826335937}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title= With powerful |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=92BQAQAAMAAJ|magazine= Wyoming Wild Life|page=11, 13 |location=University of Minnesota|volume=71|publisher= Wyoming Game and Fish Commission|date=1939 |access-date=December 7, 2024}} </ref><ref>{{cite book |last= Bakken |first=Gordon Morris |date= 2008|title=Icons of the American West; From Cowgirls to Silicon Valley [2 Volumes] |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=i7vOEAAAQBAJ |quote= One of the most popular buffalo rifles of this era was the Remington Rolling Block; also known as the Remington No. 1. By the time the Sharps Model 1874 was introduced Remington had already manufactured over 600,000 of this model rifle for both the American and foreign military. During the 1870s the Remington Arms Company was working twenty-four hours and producing nearly 1600 rifles for each twenty-four hour period. |publisher=[[Bloomsbury Publishing]] |page=284 |isbn=9781567206944}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last= Ehrig |first=Dave |date=2005 |title=Muzzleloading for Deer and Turkey |url= https://books.google.com/books?id=OH58o7RQA50C |publisher= Stackpole Books|page= 96|isbn=9780811701372}}</ref>

The Rolling Block was also one of two makers rifles used by the American team to win the International Long Range matches held at [[Creedmoor Rifle Range]] on [[Long Island, New York]], in 1874. Team members shot against the Irish team with half the shooters using Rolling Block Creedmoor models, and the other half using Sharps Model 1874 Long Range rifles.<ref>{{cite magazine |author=<!--Staff writer(s); no by-line.--> |title= Long Range Rifles|issue= 96|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=j2-s7Hpbow8C |magazine=American Rifleman |page= 20|publisher= National Rifle Association |date=1947 |access-date=December 7, 2024}}</ref>{{additional citations needed|date=December 2024}}

Civilian Remington Rolling Block rifles, and later surplus military rifles, became very popular among hunters in Scandinavia, particularly for [[moose]] hunting, with ammunition for the rifles being commonly available on the civilian market into the 1920s–1930s.{{cn|date=December 2024}}{{dubious|date=December 2024}}

The Frances Bannerman Company of New York did cartridge conversions of Remington Rolling Block actions to a number of other cartridges.  Notable among these were conversions to [[.30-06 Springfield]] which was never a factory option. If encountered these rifles should be treated as unsafe to fire.
