Photo is incorrect

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]
