I have a vintage Remington rolling block 22, probably made around the turn of the century. It's a very light, slender, graceful little thing, a joy to shoot but getting just a little too worn for regular use.
(It is very similar to the rifle posted on this old thread:

I'd love a modern version in .38 or .357, perhaps with better sights, but keeping the small, graceful shape and weight. All of the modern reproduction rolling blocks I see are built on massive frames designed for 45-70 class cartridges.
My understanding is that Remington made their little rifles on frames originally designed for their pistols. I know that modern reproductions of these pistol are available now, in the caliber I want, too, but I have never found a rifle or carbine offered on these little frames.
Any ideas on where I should look?
