| This is a
nice specimen that I recently obtained in a trade, selling my Swedish
M1864-68 Rolling Block (elsewhere on this web page) and getting this rifle
and some cash in the deal. I've now got a nice shooter with a clean bore.
Provisions for the long sabre type
bayonet.
Tang show manufacture date of 1874.
The rear sight modified in 1869 for
use by naval and coastal units.

Notice the
rear of the breech block. The firing pin is reversable for rim or
centerfire configurations.
Note the breech face, with the
centerfire and rimfire holes.
