Product Description
The Remington 1891 Target Model Rolling Block is a single-shot pistol chambered in .22 Long Rifle. It utilizes Remington's rolling block action, a design known for its simplicity and robust locking mechanism. The pistol features a steel frame and barrel configured for precision target shooting, with a single-shot loading system typical of the period's competition handguns. Its configuration reflects the late 19th-century Remington production style, combining a compact frame with a long, fixed barrel optimized for accuracy in slow-fire disciplines.
This pistol is used. The rolling block action operates by pivoting the breechblock backward to expose the chamber for loading and extraction, a hallmark of Remington's single-shot designs. The .22 LR chambering makes it a rimfire variant within the broader Rolling Block family, which was produced in several calibers. The 1891 Target Model often featured adjustable sights and a contoured grip to aid in consistent alignment during target shooting, though specific sight and grip details for this specimen are not provided. The firearm's steel construction and single-action trigger system contribute to its straightforward mechanical layout.
Included with the pistol is only the firearm itself, with no accessories or packaging specified. The 1891 Target Model represents one of Remington's later adaptations of the rolling block mechanism for precision pistol use, maintaining the same durable breech design found in the company's rifles of the era. Its single-shot configuration and .22 LR chambering make it a distinctive example of Remington's transition from military to sporting applications in the late 19th century.
