Custom Uberti Model 1876 Centennial Rifle .50-95 Winchester Excellent Condition
Description: For a short period of time, the Winchester Model 1876 was the most advanced repeating rifle for buffalo hunting in the United States. Its introduction in the year of America’s Centennial earned it the sobriquet “Centennial Rifle”. The 1876 was a development of Winchester’s earlier Model 1873, the famous “Rifle that Won the West”. During the development process, Winchester considered designing the rifle to chamber the popular .45-70 Gov’t used in the famous Trapdoor Springfield. It was already popular for hunting buffalo and widely available. Alas, Winchester came to the conclusion that the .45-70 would required a receiver too long and heavy. Instead, Winchester decided to introduce a line of shorter-fatter bottleneck cartridges that could compete with the .45-70 in performance. The first was the .45-75 Winchester, which as its name suggests, used a .45-caliber bullet backed by 75 grains of black powder. Winchester latter introduced the .45-60 WCF and .50-95 WCF in 1879, followed by the .40-60 WCF in 1884. While the rifle was very popular, even being a favorite of Teddy Roosevelt, the Model 1876 was ultimately superseded by the Winchester Model 1886. Designed by John M. Browning, the 1886 provided the public with a rifle which was both structurally stronger and chambered for the popular .45-70 round. One of the 1876’s few flaws, one which it shared with its predecessor, the 1873, was the receiver’s side plates. In terms of design, these left the receivers with little strength compared to the more “solid” designs used by the Model 1886 and later the 1892. The other issues were the toggle link action and elevator-style carrier. These were originally designed for the pistol-caliber cartridges used in the Model 1873 their use in the 1876 limited the action’s ability to handle stronger cartridges. This was one of the reasons why the .45-75 and its siblings were created and the idea of chambering for the .45-70 were dropped. Winchester’s reliance on the Model 1873’s design for the 1876 made the transition to the new smokeless powders more difficult. Modern reproductions do not suffer from this as a general rule, given the stronger materials readily available today, but the basic limits of the action must be taken into account where handloading is concerned. Overall, the 1876 is still a good design and played an important role in the Old West, a fact attested to by the presence of modern reproductions today. It worth noting that the 1876’s qualities led to its use by both Texas Rangers and the Canadian North-West Mounted Police. Shown here is a highly customized Uberti (mfg. for Stoeger) Model 1876 chambered for the powerful .50-95 Winchester Center Fire. Custom modifications include the addition of a tang peep sight, and the original wood has been replaced by a fairly expensive set of checkered black walnut furniture. The custom set of wood was originally purchased as a set of wood blanks from Gunstock Blanks LLC in Las Vegas, Nevada and they were then shipped to Boses’ in Emerson, Nebraska along with the rifle (and the original wood furniture) for duplication, inletting, final shaping and sanding, checkering, and of course, finishing. The final result is a beautiful set of furniture that makes an already beautiful firearm into something special. The peep rear sight is produced by Marble Arms. While this rifle is pre-owned it has seen no real use, spending most if not all of its life in a safe. It remains close to factory condition so to speak. One or two of the rifle’s screws exhibit slightly rough edges but the remainder appear to be untouched. While there is no box, the rifle does come with its original factory wood. There is also a single box of Jamison Brass & Ammunition .50-95 Winchester 350gr RNFP. There are 20 rounds in the box. Under federal regulations the ammo would have to be packaged and shipped separately from the rifle for an extra fee.
