This video explores Barton Jenks' Model 1867 rolling block rifle, a unique design that competed in US military trials. Unlike the Remington system, Jenks' rifle features a self-locking breech block that automatically recocks the hammer upon opening, potentially allowing for faster operation. While ultimately unsuccessful in trials, likely due to cost or durability concerns, the rifle represents an interesting evolutionary step in breech-loading firearm design.
