I have recently inherited a few military rifles and need some help narrowing down what some of them are and determining an appropriate price range for each of them.
The first one is this Remington-Lee, I am not sure how to differentiate it between the 1882 and the 1885?

So I found some info. US issue would be 45-70, but it looks like the m1879 was Navy use and the m1892 was army use. Having a hard time figuring out any differences. Any stamps, proof or markings you can see?

There not a whole lot to go off of as far as markings and stamps I know it’s either an 1882 or an 1885 because of the positioning of the magazine. It was a little different on the 1879

This rifle is honestly a little before my area of knowledge. I haven't studied the late 19th century BP service rifles much and there are normally slight differences between model designations. Is the barrel 28, 30, or 32 inches in length? That may help narrow down the model. Be sure to measure through the bore from the bolt face.
