Then if what i unerstand you are sayng the barrel should fit the model I have. 5 but uses a roller type extractor and not the stright type that runs along the left of the barrel. Thanks the 1910 is nothing more then the Model 1902 or no. IOW, it's unlikely the Danish barrel will "drop-in" another RB action, w/o some gunsmithing.

Since the Danish RB's were #1 BP actions, it shows to go that the Danish BP barrel should fit the same-size Remington RB - with possible headspacing issues using a different bbl on a different action.

The breech blocks are interchangeable between the #1 & #5 RB actions.

Total Production: Approximately: 356,000. (The BP #1 action will have them, but the smokeless #5 will not, the radial cuts having been eliminated for the #5, to strengthen the action.) Description: Rolling Block Rifle, takedown models began in 1901 as lever, then takedown screw in 1926. To identify a #5 action without removing and measuring the barrel shank, look for the receiver radial relief cuts on either side of front of the breechblock. (The #3 was the Reminghton-Hepburn, a falling-block target rifle, not a rolling-block.)Ī #5 action is the same size as the #1 action. The #2 & #4 actions are much smaller and have different proportions than the larger #1 & #5 actions. In reference to whatever you're saying is a Model 1910 RB:Ī #1 (black powder) action (model of 1867) receiver should measure a nominal 1.312" thickness.Ī #1-1/2 should measure a nominal 1.140" thickness and have a "hexigon"-style upper frame (with 3 upper flats). The length of the later 11mm cartridge was very close to the 45-70 though.I can't answer your question directly, because I've never heard of a Remington model 1910 roller.ĪFAIK, RB's are ID'd by action size: #1BP (blackpowder, like the Dane), #1 (smokeless), #1-1/2, #2, #4, #5, #6. Those imported in the 1951-58 period which we commonly see, are the m67/96 which were advertised quite wrongly as "45-70" compatible which DOES work, but causes some heavy swelling in the web of the case with smokeless and blackpowder because of the 45-70's slightly undersize dimensions. If memory serves me right, a crown OR a 97 in the aforementioned area, supposedly distinguish these rifles. The older Remington made rifles were not intended to be used with this later cartridge because of age and quality of steels, and were relegated to the Jutland region coastal reserve artillery units or civilian shooting clubs to be used with blackpowder only. Danish made copies were said to be rechambered for an updated smokeless cartridge in this period which was reserved for those rifles made in Denmark by the kjobenhavn Toihuus or Copenhagen Arsenal due to their finer quality steels. if t does have this, it may well have been rebarreled and was renamed the Model 1867/97 and intended strictly for blackpowder cartridges only in the 1890s. Check between your receiver ring and the rear sight for s crown. It does appear to be one of the original 42,000 rifles of the original Danish contract.
