Winchester Model 1876 Centennial, Cal. 45-60
SOLD
Description:
The first of Winchester's big game guns and the first big game repeating rifle, the Model 1876 was enthusiastically endorsed by most all American hunters. It was very similar in appearance to the extremely popular 1873 Model, although noticeably larger, and led to it's immediate acceptance among hunters. One of it's biggest fans was Theodore Roosevlet, who continued to prefer it over many later models. The Winchester Model 1876, also known as the "Centennial Model", was made from 1876 to 1897 with about 63,871 manufactured. This is a vintage 1881 Standard 2nd Model 1876 (serial number between 5000 to 30000) which is fitted with a 28 inch round barrel, straight grip stock with steel trap-door equipped crescent butt-plate, full length tube magazine, optional set trigger, and is chambered in 45-60 W.C.F.. The rifle is in great condition, with the barrel retaining most all of its original blue finish, the tube magazine retaining about 80% of its original blue finish, with some turning a brown patina at the muzzle and the frame retains about 50% of its original finish. The stock and forearm retain most of their original finish, with most of the thinning on the bottom of the forearm, and assorted handling marks, ding and dents. There are traces of color case-hardening still visable on the hammer and lever, with the butt-plate turned a brown patina. The bore is bright and the action functions perfectly and locks up tight. Would be a great collectible or shooter. The first in its field, it is truely an American classic. PRICE: $5,500 We are Antique & Modern Firearms in Lexington, KY, dealer of fine firearms since 1974.
