I have a player who is new and learning too slow to keep playing his druid. I don't want to kick him out, but he's really that slow and not learning the class, system or roleplaying in general. I can work with him on the last two, hopefully.
He mentioned wanting to try a ranger, which I'm cool with; but I want to remove the spell component from him. Forcing him to focus on blades and range. We're in the Victorian Era of a Fantasy World, so rifles and handguns exist.
Can anyone direct me to something that will help me out here?

I'm sorry, I don't understand.
You could try the spell-less ranger from Kobold Quarterly #11

There's an ranger variant called the Skirmisher in the Advanced Player's Guide. It exchanges the ability to cast spells with the ability to use a few "tricks".

And by tricks he means thing akin to rogue talents.

Sort of, I guess; they're more like monk ki powers than rogue talents, IMO. Here's an example of a few you could select from:
Catfall (Ex): The ranger can use this trick as an immediate action when he falls 20 or more feet, ignoring the first 20 feet of the fall when calculating the falling damage. If the ranger takes no damage from the fall, he does not fall prone.
Chameleon Step (Ex): The ranger can move up to twice his speed as a move action. The ranger does not take any penalty on Stealth checks for movement during this move. This move provokes attacks of opportunity as normal.
Cunning Pantomime (Ex): As a standard action, the ranger can communicate with a single creature as if using the tongues spell for 10 minutes. Because the communication is slow and lacks subtlety, the ranger suffers a –4 penalty on all Bluff and Diplomacy checks relating to the creature he is communicating with when using this trick.
Etc.

Now why ever would that be?
Seriously, though, it's an excellent article, so it deserves consideration for this need.

Much appreciated!
There actually just might be more on the horizon for the ol' Spell-less Ranger in fact ...
