The Remington 4-S was the official rifle of the American Boy Scouts, featuring military-style furniture and a rolling block action. Initially sold directly to scouts for $5.00, it was later rebranded as the 'Military Model'. Original Boy Scout marked rifles are now rare collector's items, with fewer than 25% estimated to survive.

This video details a rare Remington Rolling Block rifle, specifically an 1896 pattern chambered in 7mm Mauser, that was custom-engraved with 'NIAGARA'. This marking indicates its association with the privately funded USS Niagara, which served during the Spanish-American War era. The rifle's unique markings and its subsequent sale to Francis Bannerman highlight its historical significance and rarity.
