	I picked up another rolling block the other day. It looks like a NYS state contract. It has the correct B on the barrel bands and the HBH Cartouche on the stock. it has the half cock and appears to be bright finished. Now here is where it gets a little weird 1. On the underside of the round barrel it has stamped "6 grooved quick twist" on it. I have never seen anyone stamped this way. 2. It has some kind of older target sight that is mounted to the barrel. Has anyone ever seen this sight or markings on a roller before? Here is the sight picture

	Pretty sure that rear sight is off a martini cadet. Frank

	Sight is from a small frame 310 Martini. Joe.

	Thanks all. I could not for the life of me figure out what the rear sight was.

	Hi John, tell us more about the barrel. How long is it? What caliber? Joe.

	More pictures would be nice if possible. Any history to the rifle?
