Photo is incorrect[edit]

The photo used in this article is incorrect. It's of an 1871 Ward Burton bolt action rifle. About 1000 of these were adopted for trials but had no active service. It is a completely different rifle from the Remington rolling block design. Mike Ege (talk) 01:03, 7 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

the Photo is not for Springfield Model 1871 rolling block rifle[edit]

the Photo is not for Springfield Model 1871 rolling block, its for springfield Model 1871 Ward-Burton Bolt Action Rifle.
