Remington ~ Falling Block

This Remington Model 1879 "Modelo Argentino" is a highly collectible piece of late-19th-century military history, manufactured under special contract for the Argentine military. Known locally as the "Patria," this historic rifle is chambered in .43 Spanish (11.15x57mmR) (not verified) and served as the first standard national longarm of the Argentine National Army. The breech section displays the clear and desirable "Modelo Argentino 1879 E.N." (Ejrcito Nacional) arsenal stamp, alongside standard Remington patent markings on the tang. Featuring its original full-length military configuration with a 36-inch octagon-to-round barrel, three barrel bands, and the unique Austrian Werndl-style rear ladder sight, this rugged single-shot rifle is an essential acquisition for any serious collector of vintage military arms.
