My father bought this Remington rolling block that spent a long time in South America, he paid something like $9 for it from Hunters Lodge (also got some cartridges with it too). It sat in his basement for another 30 or 40 years until I got it.
The wood was dumped and the barrel was cut off at ten inches from the breech than bored out to half inch inside diameter. A 22 rim fire blank was turned down to half inch outside diameter for the last ten inches and glued inside the original barrel with a harden bushing at the rear. A rim fire extractor was made.
The receiver was squared up removing the half dovetail cuts and the lower tang was bent to
form a pistol grip. Rolling blocks have really bad triggers so a new trigger and sear was made and installed to give a very nice pull. The top of the hammer was cut off and a rim fire bushing installed in the breech block. The receiver was case colored in Cody WY.
A blank of Calif walnut was used to make the stock and fore-end, a Rem 513 steel buttplate was used. A early Lyman 438 scope was mounted on my scope blocks
