This photo allows a good comparison between the more common
M1867 Norway/Swedish Remington receiver and the clearly more rounded
receiver front edge of the M1860/64/68 Remington conversion.
 

Standard early Remigton receiver, built under license from Reminton,
showing that the rifle remains in it's original Rimfire configuration.
 

Right receiver view showing the Norway/Swedish expression of the licensed
Remington action with its set screw retainers in lieu of the cross pin retainer
found on virtually all other Reminton Rolling Blocks including the Remington
built receivers of the M1867 Norway/Swedish Remingtons.  This view also
very clearly illustrates the M1860/64/68's most notable feature, the extremely
short section of forestock and barrel between the receiver and lower barrel band.
