Remington Model 1897 Style Single Shot Rolling Block Action Military Saddle Ring Carbine, #60000, 7mm, 19'' round barrel with integral block-blade front and adjustable leaf rear sights is marked ''7MM - S M'' on top ahead of front barrel band; steel receiver with saddle bar and ring mounted on left side; steel furniture including single spring-retained barrel band with right-side-mounted sling swivel, front and rear upper handguard caps, and triggerguard; three-piece oil-finished hardwood handguard, forestock, and buttstock with right-side sling swivel and buttplate. Mfg'd 1897-1917. It is likely that this carbine was assembled by a foreign military armory utilizing Remington-made parts, which accounts for its caliber and lack of maker's marks. Condition is good to very good, the barrel having a blue-brown patina and the other steel parts an overall mostly smooth gunmetal-brown. Stocks are sound showing the expected marks of military use, with large initials ''JSM'' engraved into left buttstock and infilled with yellow-tan paint, and with a later heavy coat of varnish. Action is smooth and sure; bore is clean with deep rifling. Est.: $300-$400. (C&R)
