Barrel threads

[patriot]

I dont know much about this so Im asking who ever out there might know.I recently learned that one of the Remington copies made by other countries have different type of threads namely v shaped groves and that American made Remingtons hade square cut threads .Im asking for the reason of buying one and maybe putting a new barrel on it .Can anybody fill me in? I have also noticed that some of the other countries had American made Remingtons as well .

Patriot - I took a quick look through my copy of The Military Remington Rolling Block Rifle by George Layman and could not find the info you seek on rifling. His book is an excellent reference but I could not find anything on your subject.

I own a nice three bander in .43 Spanish and it shoots great - though the trigger pull is quite stiff - and as I've never thought about changing the barrel never considered such a question as yours. Best of luck in your search, surely a more knowledgable person than I can chime in to address your question.

Thanks Brass ,I see alot of them in .43 spanish ,If Im not wrong they arent much different than 44-77 bn .How does those .43s do ? Are there ways to work on the trigger?

Patriot – as far as the trigger pull goes: I’m not too squeamish about working on my guns but haven’t yet attempted anything on that rugged (and friggin’ lovely) three band Remington military rolling block’s trigger. Since the inner workings are all so nicely packed up into the receiver I dare not attempt to take them out to look at them and see what I could do about the trigger pull for fear I’ll not get everything back in the right way. Therefore I’ll stick with the heavier trigger pull and hope to keep that bugger on target until she goes boom.

As for the similarities between the .44-77 bn and the .43 Spanish bn – yes, they’re pretty much the same (this is the .43 Spanish as initially designed, not the .43 Spanish ‘Reformado’ cartridge). Mike Venturino confirms the similarities of the .44-77 and .43 Spanish in his cartridge data section on page 130, of chapter 16 “.44-77 (2 ¼”) & .43 Spanish”, Shooting Buffalo Rifles of the Old West:

“…in the 1870s Remington advertised their military style Rolling Block rifles in .43 Spanish caliber for sale to the public for $16.50. Its ammunition was loaded with 400 grain bullets, 77 grains of powder…”

“…Remington’s loads for .44-77 and .43 Spanish were identical. They were except one factor. The .44-77 cartridge used bullets of .446 inch diameter, while the .43 Spanish used… .439 inch. The cartridge cases themselves were identical in case head dimensions, 2.25 inches long and bottlenecked in shape. “

That sounds good ,so I guess a .43 wouldnt be a bad round to hunt with if its that close to a 44-77 .I was readind yesterday that a .43 Mausar is the same dia. as a 44-77 but I dont know how close the case is it didnt say .Are the trggers any worse than other military triggers ?I got quite used to them while in the Army ,sort of like getting used to shooting a Glock
