Guatemala was a prolific customer of Remington's Rolling Block since 1870. However, late REMINGTON ARMS CO. tang-dated versions are the only known Spanish Models having EJERCITO DE GUATEMALA (Army of Guatemala) stamped over the chamber between the receiver and rear sight. Nearly all these rifles display heavy usage and pitting along the wood-to-metal fit areas and are found in good condition at best. Many fell victim to the re-barreling vise and re-chambering craze in the 1960s to rebuild them into sporting-type rifles for more common .45-70 cartridge. They have become a true scarcity. All have screw-retained barrel bands.
