	Recently I acquired a Swedish (?) Rolling block that has a difference from any pictures I have seen. It looks like Swedish markings . This one has the bar and one screw holding both big pins , as on All the Remington made RB's. Swedish RB's in pictures have a partial screw holding each pin. Can anyone tell me what model or variation this is? Pictures WB

	My sporter RRB in 8x58 Danish is dated 1875 and was one of the ones recasehardened, new hammer and block. Same as yours. Mine was converted in 1892 if memory serves. Frank

	Early Swedish Rolling Blocks were very similar to the parent Remington Rolling Blocks. Those with setscrews holding the pins were later variations. Of course the very first Swedish Rolling Blocks were either actions supplied by Remington, or parts supplied by Remington, until Sweden got up to full production of their own rifles.
