battles rangers, If you wouldn't mind drifting to a Rem. mystery that has got some very knowledgeable  people stumped. If any of the Butts family move this or who ever it may be, don't worry it would put this good org. on the map for many people are stumped!! This 1875 Rem. is in .44 cal. rimfire copper case stamped on the base with a" U " ( for UMC ). But Jim Supica of the Rem. soc. said the cal. was wrong!!! It specs. out as a Henry rifle .44, but it should have a "H" on the base not a "U" and to confuse even further it has a "ROUND" nose bullet, which we all know could never be for a HENRY OR A WINCHESTER. I GOT THIS GUN FROM MY LAST WWII FRIEND AND FFL WHO PASSED AWAY 5YRS AGO. This gun came with 26 copper case rounds all having a deep green patina on one side only as if it sat on the ground for ages. The gun itself also was pitted badly on the left side only the right side in decent shape and the action is perfect, bore OK. The grips are OK even the bad left side is all there!! I know this isn't for our site but I've had this gun for many years and I always ask any body with our love of these incredible machines for help, I only wish it could talk for this gun may not look pristine but it would actually fire if I didn't think the rounds were so unique I would!!    Joe L.
