- Watch along as Larry Potterfield, Founder and CEO of MidwayUSA, demonstrates the cycle of operation of a Remington Rolling Block. See the parts move from the inside out as Larry uses a cut-away Rolling Block made in the shop.

I've always been very impressed by how brilliantly simple and robust rolling-block and falling-block rifles are in function and design.
Indeed. The rolling block rifle as well as the trapdoor rifle are the most basic and simple but well-designed rifles.
It would be killer if y'all did more videos like this. Just showing the inner workings with a cutaway. I've never seen a better example than this
I always wondered how those two 'hammers' operated, now I know. Thank you Larry for a flawless demonstration.
The best single-shot rifle design ever. Solid, simple, and with so few moving parts is less likely to break than more complicated designs.
A decent and simple repeating action design in the Browning designed Winchester 1887 shotgun.
Basically a break-action that doesn't have to actually bend in the middle. Clever.
With Larry it makes fun to learn everyday something new! Thank you, Sir!
The simplest things are usually the ones that work the best. It's a rule of thumb. Explains the "extended family" of the Remington system.
If there was a Larry Potterfield traing school I would pay good money to attend
Outstanding explanation and illustration! Thank you, sir!
Another great video from Larry Potterfield -- a true gun guy!
The Rolling Block is a special design. It has a simplicity and robustness that is worth understanding.
Mr. Potterfield,
Phenomenal explanation, thank you for the work you to to educate us.
(the music was a little loud / distracting).
It's actually easier to come with an overcomplicated answer for a problem than to find a way to do it with minimal effort. That's the beauty of "simple" solutions.
Truly visionary thinking for its time!
Love your videos.
This one in particulalar is an amazing deminstration. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks Larry . You are great at explaining .
SIMPLE, RELIABLE and STRONG 👌🏻
What an awesome video!! Nice machining there!!!
Thanks Larry, that was a very good video. I can't believe how simple a design it is......EZPZ.
Great Videos. Learn something new every time.
Genius design!
Thanks for the great vid, that explains it easy peasy in five minutes. Always wanted one as a shooter, hard to find one in good condition. Thanks for the view!
A rolling block pistol. Now I've seen everything.
just found out about the gun and this is pretty informative
Thank you for the education.
Thank you so much for explaining this. 😁
Wow this gun is awesome
Hope for a video on a dropping block
Phenomenal video!
Could you do a video on how to repair a rotted or broken gunstock toe when you don't have the peice that snapped off.
I support your request, bro! Would be good to see how to repair my Anschütz rimfire stock ;-)
i like the sharps rifle and the case block closure
THATS COOL WHAT A GREAT VIDEO

Interesting.
Wow, that is a very practical design. But I wonder if the rolling block would become a little loose when the chamber is closed, considering the extended mating surfaces between the rolling block cam and the cam on the hammer?
The cutaway model seems to show a less than tight fit between the hammer block and breech block,which would allow the chamber to leak gas when the gun was fired and you had a cartridge failure.You can see movement when he uses his thumb to show how the locked breech works. Guess that is a tighter fit when the real thing is fired.
That slop appears to possibly only be when it was on half cock. I'm guessing it has a better fit when fully fired. That.... and it's old as hell.
Unless you want to see HOW he made the demonstrator, to learn How a Rolling Block Operates, go to 4:00
awesome cutaway, someone should try .50 bmg on that action pattern, maybe beef up a little..
Yu Toob Serbu Firearms has a similar single shot .50 BMG. Instead of a rolling block, it has a screw on breech cap and heavy hammer. Very simple. Check out the RN50 on the website. Not sure of the URL.
@@paultroiani255 That isn't really similar at all, it's based on a break-action.
3:57 shows the method of operation
Woooow...🤩🤩♥️♥️👍
Never heard of a Rolling Block pistol till now.
So how is the breech block kept from pushing back when the round is fired?
Watch at 5:10. As the hammer moves forward, it rotates into the cutout at the back of the breechblock, preventing it from moving backwards
so i have one made by Springfield in 50-70. but the weird thing is that it only has 2 rings on the forend instead of 3. any one here know why???????
There's lots of barrel stroking going on here

What's a sporting rifle?
Usage profile.
why destroy a receiver?.. if youre just demonstrating the mechanism, could have just fabricated a clear plastic receiver
because they are common and this one wasnt in great shape.
Simple to some...
Great video; very informative. but I had to cringe when you used your calipers as a scribe...
as a professional machinist and fabricator that makes our nations unmentionables. i can assure you there is nothing wrong with laying out your work with calipers. if you get a really good expensive pair. thats what they are designed and used for. the hardened sharp tips are meant for laying out parts for machining. dont be afraid to do this.
I'll bet you can rebuild and outboard motor, huh.
Pope's soldiers best rifle.
No... they had sig550
I was referring at around 1870...
(today's swiss guard issued the Extrema Ratio bayonet, too... shhh....).
I simply get caught amongst the multiple arcs and angles while timing the movements and visualizing the hammer spring?? Elegant and magnificent but overly complex in consideration of such a short parts list needed too accomplish a single shot. The advantage over a break action is minimal in my opinion.
What's with the caressing of the gun?
I don't understand why you used an origional historical rifle to make a cut away? Its cringe worthy watching a antique rifle get destroyed.
Bryan Dunkel There are many of these around and thr particular condition of this rifle it wasn't worth much. I still cringed when hr put it to the mill.
Maybe because there's thousands of them around and this one is in bad shape.
cause it wasnt worth anything anymore and is more useful as a demonstration piece.
He can do whatever he wants with it, it’s his rifle
It’s put to better use this way than it would be otherwise - it’s a cooler piece now than it was before. I don’t see the issue,
That was painful to see...
Even though this rifle was used to assault many targets in many wars, Democrats would not consider it an "assault rifle." 🤦♂️🤣
