To ALL you good people, thanks for the help for the Rem. 75. The rounds .44 cal. RF fit perfectly and all 26 are intact and came in a .44 cal. box which is not original to these rounds.                                     Since I can go to another one of my TOYS in this section with a WWI M-95 straight pull Steyr in 8X50mm found in Caserto Italy and brought back by an American Ambulance Driver in 1919. The label on the stock below the left side of the receiver is worn away in areas of the ID of this driver and the area in Asiago when the Austrians attacked Italy in the mountains 1914 and 1915 and on. This rifle is also in great shape with perfect action and must have been found in a building or someplace out of the weather. I have 8X57mm rounds that are to long which obviously means it was never re-chambered stateside to the NEWER 8X57mm and remains original in the 8X50mm which I can't get here in this moronic state. The name of this person is Burroughs but his first name is worn away and his Ambulance company, American Ambulance Service I can't find anything on it. And that's only a few of my mystery's that exist in my collection! I know a lot of collectors don't care about the past history of their TOYS, but for me it's for the future of my girls and my grandkids this is for them and to hopefully help preserve these incredible machines of history for the future. They're way to important for posterity not to be concerned, these wood and steel marvels need our help, just take a look at Australia, I wonder how Garands, Enfields, and God knows how many other weapons were destroyed by the Gun Grabber morons,WHAT A SHAME!!! Not here no way, no way.Joe
