What’s Included
- Remington No. 4 Rolling Block .32 Rimfire single-shot rifle
The No. 4 is a compact, small-frame rolling block design with an external hammer and a right-side extractor. This example is chambered in .32 Rimfire, a less common option than .22 for the model, and it feeds a single round via the rolling block action.
The 24 inch octagon steel barrel carries a factory Remington address line on the top barrel flat. Open sights include a fixed front blade and a barrel-mounted open rear, consistent with the rifle’s original configuration.
Furniture consists of a straight-grip, uncheckered walnut buttstock with an oil finish and a slim, straight walnut forend. A steel crescent-style buttplate completes the classic profile, with a 13.0 inch length of pull.
The compact receiver shows the characteristic two large transverse screw heads per side. Overall production of the No. 4 spanned the 1890s through the early 1930s; this rifle was manufactured in 1912 in the United States per Remington Society serial data.
