butlers rangers, I'm new to this site as it is now. Was a member when William Butts was involved, talked with him back in 2010, but things came about that distracted me from the site after having got a  1875 Rem. .44 cal wheel gun that not even Jim Supica could ID. I did join the Rem. coll. Soc.but my 1875 is just as complicated as my 98 rifle and what you brought up about the peep sight and other statements I should have remembered about the usage of the Krag up to WWI, thank you for the refresher course for my research goes on a lot for it's large and many are truly unique. I'm not really tech. savy and my kids and friends remind me of it all the time. I'll try to figure out pics but it's something I'll have to work on for I have NO clue how to do it!   Joe L.

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 ca
