Hello all,
I was wondering what sort of buttplate the Remington Lee 1879 uses. Mine is in awful shape but I see that it looks like a simple trapdoor plate. Does it use an 1873 size plate? Or earlier?
I'm also looking for a magazine for said rifle. I've posted to the WTB and reached out to a few members with no luck so far. Any leads would be helpful.
Thanks!
A Remington Rolling Block butt plate might also work. The magazines are hard to find. I have had two and one was incomplete.
It took many years to find the first one.
I'm beginning to notice that... I reached out to that gentleman you referred me to, but he never wrote me back.Quote:

I'll try to find a Rolling block buttplate. Thanks for the advice!
Post a picture of your butt plate and I will see what I have still available that is not marked
