	Upper one is a Deluxe rifle with 24" barrel, chambered in 32 Long CF. A straight-grip Deluxe rifle is a bit unusual. Lower one is a Special Order rifle ( special order # stamped on lower flat under forearm) with 26" barrel, chambered in 25-21 Stevens. Lyman #7 front sight, correct Lyman tang sight, and no dovetail for a rear sight. How many Remington RB rifles do you see with a cheek-piece? Notice the detail on the front of the comb. JerryH

	Only thing wrong with those two are they're not in my safe! Absolutely gorgeous pair of rare #2's!

	Wow! I’ve always loved the No.2 Rolling Blocks. Those are both great examples.

	Very nice! I’ll be restoring one with a cracked frame and it may end up looking like one of yours. Thanks for showing us. Bob

	Jerry, Very nice looking pair! I have a couple I've picked up that aren't nearly as nice, in fact, one the owner felt it was beyond and almost headed for the scrap bin when I rescued it - not happening on my watch... The PG looks like someone was making a stock for a Hepburn then saw a #2 and fit it to it anyway...? I like it, may be the configuration I follow for one of mine - thanks for sharing. The little lip is interesting. Greg

	nice Jerry. The to frames are so different, almost like the top one is like a highwall and the lower one like a low wall. I didn't know there were different ones. Tony

	Tony, They're both the same frames. It's just that the upper rifle is rolled a little bit away, and the lower one is rolled a little bit towards me in the photos. Never claimed to be a photographer! JerryH

	Wow - those are gorgeous! I love #2s, I've got four of them, but none so nice as those. Thanks for sharing - I apologize for the drool

	Great to see such a nice pair of No.2s and in such nice condition. I bet that .25/21 would be a real honey to shoot. Spud

	Any PG #2 is a rarity and quite desirable in a collection. I am also noting there seem to be more rim fire to center fire conversions than factory original center fire rifles to be found.
