Hi Butlersrangers, Sent some pics to Richard which hopefully he will be able to post; the quality may be lacking as the camera used is not the best. Have already ordered the book you advise. The redfield sight on the rifle is the same one as the pic you posted. When you say this rifle probably saw some action and was at san juan hill in cuba do you think it was with the rough riders? Have no intension of altering the rifle in any way and unless it is worthwhile to do so will leave it in it's current configuration. Realize what your saying about gunsmiths and appreciate your generous offer and would like to know what the rifle is worth but would like to keep it in a personal collection for the time being. If you have no idea what the rifle is worth monetarily can you point the right direction for that info? Thank You All once again for your interest, info and help, Mark
