One of the most unusual and very well built special order export versions of Spanish Model was this .43 Spanish caliber Rolling Block of which Remington produced an estimated 50,000 rifles and carbines. Its Knoxform chamber is stamped Model Argentino 1879 E.N. on top flat, and equipped with an Austrian Werndl type rear sight, three screw retained barrel bands and long saber bayonet lug. It is, however, the most commonly encountered of all Remington Rolling Block rifles in .43 Spanish caliber, as the Argentine government sold well over 25,000 to US surplus importers between 1959 and 1962. Ninety percent or more of both rifles and carbines were re-blued and refinished by the host country to a practically like new condition, complete with cosmoline. Inexperienced buyers should be cautious as some dealers in the past have offered these as in "arsenal fresh new condition". Those in original condition with both un-refinished metal and wood bring significantly higher prices as they are not common. Any Argentine Model without the stamping over the chamber, and having a short saber bayonet lug is one of 2,500 ultra-rare Honduran contract rifles, which were nothing more than modified surplus Argentine variants. These are difficult to price, but normally reap a far higher tag than the standard 1879 Argentine model. The prices below reflect the common refinished variation. Note: Add 100% for those Model 1879 Argentine rifles and carbines showing 80 to 100 percent case colors and all original raised grain wood and deep blue finish.
