M1868 Remington Rolling Block Questions

[ffuries]

I have a line on a nice Egyptian Contract Remington M1868 Rolling Block rifle. It's missing a barrel band screw (Found a source for it), missing the firing pin (Found a source for it), missing the extractor (Haven't found one yet).

I notice some parts reference for Spanish Rolling Block only etc. Are there that many differences between the models sent to other countries? Or did the different years of manufacture have that many differences or variations?

Trying to decide if I can find all 3 of the missing parts before I pull the trigger. At $325.00 the price isn't bad at least with my limited research so far.

The Egyptian model is very similar if not the same as the Spanish model except for the chambering. These military rollers are all based on the same design, there are minor variations depending on the end users requirments. I think half of Latin America used these during the 19th century, they turn up pretty much everywhere, and even New York State ordered a special model for the State Guard. Parts are not hard to find. Prices have gone up, I have an Egyptian roller someplace that I bought at an 80's flea market for $20

Most parts are not hard to find. An extractor is not one of those parts. Took me a while to find an extractor for my 43 Egyptian.

Does it take a straight sliding bar extractor or a rotary extractor? Or is this based on whether it's an early or late contract rifle. I figured mine is a late contract one as it has March 1874 as the latest patent date.

Rifle is still inbound via UPS, I expect it to be here next week.......I hope!

It's a sliding bar extractor.
