I don't know what all this confusion is about, but the Rem. rolling block pistol was based on the #2 rifle frame. According to deHaas' SINGLE SHOT RIFLES & ACTIONS, the Army model was made in 1871 & the target (.22 RF) model was made in 1901, both based on the #2 rifle action. That's page 62, upper left.         ...MIKE...


I think that info is incorrect Mike. Since the #2 rifle was much later than the Rolling Block pistol. The #2 rifle was based on the pistol frame, not vice versa. DeHaas info is always great, just not always correct.
