	Alans armory over at gun boards has some new additions to his selection of Model33 rolling blocks. I have no horse running in this show and get no money from him regarding this posting. So have at it. Frank

	He refers to every Rolling Block on his site as a "Type 33" when in reality this is the only true Type 33 he has. #102102SW: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) The others don't have the smaller frame, curve to the receiver sides where it meets buttstock and forearm, and the rounded receivers. They appear to be full sized Husqvarna Sporting rifles, and not the curvy Type 33 like that one is. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links)

	My 40-65 Rolling Block has what appears to be one those hammers. Wish I could find another one.

	Your .40-65 appears to have the hammer that Remington used on their Rolling Block shotguns. They had a different shape to ensure hammer clearance when chambering the large diameter shotgun shells. Never seen one on a Sporting rifle. Pretty nifty! Wonder if someone changed to the shotgun hammer when they reworked the gun?

	marlin guy, that is exactly what happened. My friend was having an old beat up 7mm RB reworked and he saw this hammer in a box of spare parts. When he asked the gunsmith about it the man said he didn't know where it came from but he would trade it for the one on the 7mm, my friend jumped on it. I am glad he did. When my friend passed away I bought his collection of rifles and of course this RB was one of them.

	The shotgun hammers have a Colt Bisley look to them. Always thought they were nice and wondered why they weren't used on all ROlling Block Sporting rifles to standardize. But Remington didn't always make the best financial decisions.

	Went back to his ads thanks for the link by the way. And you are totally correct regarding the top one being a true 33 and the others do not have the round type action.More like a squared off type and less taper to the rear of the action. Thanks for setting me straight. Never too old (72) to learn something every day. Frank

He should be calling the others #1 Sporting Rifles of Swedish manufacture. Still neat guns, but not nearly as valuable as a Type 33. But whoever described them also called the barrels "hex" which tells me they certainly aren't gun people. Do hex barrels have some special voodoo in them?

	Does anyone have a diagram or disassembly guide for the type 33. They are different from the Remington in some respects.

	The Type 33 is slightly different, but mainly in the method of securing the pins for hammer and block. They simply have a screw on the off side that holds the pins. Other than that the disassembly isn't that unique from most Remingtons. The issue I had was the screws holding the trigger plate to the receiver. Since Husky thought it would be neat to polish the receivers with those screws in place, it makes it a bit more touchy to remove those screws and not damage their slots after all these years! Mine came out fine, but I've seen others that either were stuck, or someone didn't have a good fitting screwdriver for those shallow slots.

	When I got my Type 33A my friend told me it had been rechambered to .38-55 Ballard. I never paid much attention to the chamber until later when I tried dropping a .38-55 round in the chamber and it stopped short of chambering by almost 1/8"! I got my scope out and looked at the chamber to see what was going on and noticed it was the original old chamber, and no signs of any fresh reamer having been in there? After that I did a chamber cast and found it was still it's original 9.5 chamber, so I shortened some .38-55 brass, and sized some .381" bullets down to .376" diameter. It shoots great, and ammo is as simple to make as just shortening .38-55 brass. Glad the chamber wasn't messed up after all!
