The simplest, strongest, and most widely exported military rifle of the 19th century. The rolling block action — where the hammer blocks the breechblock from opening until fired — is virtually foolproof and can handle any cartridge pressure. Adopted by the navies and armies of Egypt, Argentina, Denmark, Sweden, Spain, and dozens of other nations. An estimated 1 million+ military examples sold to 30+ nations.
