Exquisite Custom Built Remington Rolling Block Single Shot Rifle, by Joe Lozito of Long Island, NY, NVSN, .45-70 cal., having a vividly case colored frame with a brightly polished blue finish, 34'' part-round part-octagon 7-groove barrel and similarly blued block, hammer, pins and pin retainer plate; tang-mounted vernier sight has a nitre blue finish and is graduated from 0 to 450 in 1/10 increments, with a fine windage adjustment on the base and an adjustable spirit level aperture front sight. The ''AAA Grade'' English walnut stock and forend have a very fine high-gloss finish and are uncheckered to highlight the contrasting colors and marble figure; the pistol grip has a contoured ''S'' curved base and the forend has an ''S'' curved ebony tip complementing the base. Length of pull is 13-7/8'' to a finely checkered blued metal buttplate; weight of the rifle is 11-1/8 lbs. Per our consigner, with the exception of the action, the entire rifle, including sights, was built by Mr. Lozito, who passed away in 2015. Overall condition is near new as custom built, appearing to have been fired only a few times. The blue finish has drifted to brown on the pins and areas of the block. Est.: $5,500-$7,500. (Modern)
