Spanje - Real Artillería Oviedo - Rolling Block - Rolling Block - Rolling Block - Geweer - 45 70

Carbine based on the design of the rifle which Remington manufactured from 1865 and which enjoyed great popularity as both civil and military rifle. Equipped with locking tilt type named originally Rolling Block, known in Spain as the Remington system. Its inventor was the American Leonard Geiger, who, in 1863, patented a breech-loading system which basically consisted of a block that opened or closed the access to the breech of a gun single shot rifle, pivoting on the firing needle parallel to the barrel. The hammer, located immediately behind the mentioned block, prevents the opening of this, when striking the cartridge. This system met all the qualities of robustness and reliability, qualities needed to make a rifle declared regulatory for the army. Thus, in the last third of the last century the majority of European and American nations did not hesitate to make these with Remington’s patent -which in turn had bought it from Geiger- to manufacture these guns in their own countries. Their profusion throughout the world, both in its version as a long weapon and short, confirm the above. In 1866, Spain had already entered the breech-loading with the Berdan system, although it was a temporary solution for the Third Carlist War (1872-1876), where the Remington was the true protagonist, since adoption was approved by Royal Decree on February 24, 1871, which would be manufactured in Oviedo, in two versions: the rifle for infantry and the tercerola for cavalry and institutes mounted after having defeated in competition organised by the optional Board of artillery to such famous firms as Wilson & Berdan and Martini-Henry. The government army began to equip troops destined for the Carlist front with these weapons. Such was the urgency, that a great quantity of the 1871 model rifles were bought from the United States as Oviedo factory was not able to meet the demand characteristic of a conflict. In 1874 a locking carabiner designed in Oviedo was approved, being an intermediate model that was adopted for engineers, site artillery and plaza and military administration. The order of 26 January 1875 had the Remington as the only rifle of the army and ordered the immediate replacement of any other model that was used. With this adoption, the soldier’s possibilities improved considerably, as their firing rate tripled, from 3 shots per minute to 9. In addition, he obtained a power of tactical scope on groups located at a distance of 1,000 metres in the form of collective shot, until then unthinkable scope. The bullet that its cartridge loaded was lead with a brass jacket, and was the cause that during the war in Cuba, because of the heat and humidity, the typical green verdigris was formed which made American soldiers believe -military propaganda had something to do with it- that the Spanish troops were using poisoned projectiles. In 1895, the Oviedo factory ceased its production, having produced 350,000 rifles and 50,000 tercerolas that were slowly replaced by the magnificent Spanish Mauser rifle, model 1893, surpassing the Remington to become part of the equipment of indigenous troops. During this time, the Spanish soldiers stationed in the protectorate of Morocco baptized this rifle with the name of Paco because of its characteristic sound that it produced upon shooting in the middle of the silence of the night: paccccccoooooooooooo The stock has a bit of play, but it is repairable. There are very few of these units. It has the stamp of 1872. An opportunity.
