IN MINT CONDITION MUCH NICER THAN YOU WILL EVER SEE ONE, WE HAVE AN EXCEPTIONAL EXAMPLE OF THE REMINGTON MODEL 1902 ROLLING BLOCK RIFLE IN 7m/m MAUSER CALIBER. THESE RIFLES WERE OBSOLETE WHEN THE WERE BUILT AND EVERYONE AT THE TIME WERE BUYING MAUSER RIFLES, HOWEVER THEY WERE SOLD AND WIDELY USED IN THE MEXICAN REVOLUTION AND ALSO BY CANADA AND GREAT BRITIAN DURING WW1. THE MOST INTERESTING USE WAS BY THE ROYAL NAVAL WHO SUPPLIED THEM TO MINESWEEPERS FOR USE IN DETONATING SEA MINES. THIS IS A MOST ATTRACTIVE EXAMPLE WITH ALL OF THE BLUE AND MOST OF THE CASE COLORS STILL INTACT. THIS RIFLE WOULD BE GREAT HANGING ON A WALL OR IN A RACK AS WELL. CERTAINLY AN OBSCURE BUT IMPORTANT LONG ARM OF WW1.
