…placed loose in a truck bed or wagon box. The left side of the stock got marred by rocks or gravel.
Perhaps something similar happened to this 1886. It's all part of the joy and frustration of collecting antique firearms!
…model 61 rimfire I posted about in the rf section
An honest 1876 in 40-60 with what looks like special sights, but no letter on that one.
An 1886 deluxe that letters with 1/2 nickel that’s in nice shape but someone added some cold blue to the barrel 🤦🏻♂️
And an 1873 musket… that appears

…the 1/2 nickel, the Swiss BP, the wood, and the tang sight.
I forgot to mention it’s 32 wcf
Also of note, the gentleman has a deluxe 1886 that was lettered (with 1/2 nickel), an 1873 musket, and a decent 1876 chambered in 40-60.

…cartridges (three varieties of 4350, for example) with a healthy amount of Unique. I load many of the same cartridges you load other than the 1876/1886 cartridges and the quarter bore stuff. Several partial cans are from failed experiments over 40+ years of reloading and I’d never miss them if they

Want to start reloading for a 1876 40-60, dies seem to be difficult to find. Wondering if 40-65 dies from the 1886 can be used. Brass / bullets are not a problem supriseingly. If anyone has a line on some 40-60 dies that would be great
Thanks

…are the most collectable . Going to sell one of them only. Depending on value. In dad’s notes he simply states the 1876 is. NWMP police carbine .
I have looked thoroughly on the carbine and see no markings as to it being NWMP .
Bore is very good. Clean , shiny, no rust, no pitt.…

Does anyone recognize these stamped markings on a M 1876 carbine S/N 14622 , cal. 45/60 ? SMG on barrel and stock. Winchester T.E. Hall letter confirms: carbine, caliber, and ship date. "RML" carved into

Your Model 1876 carbine was made in 1882 and is in the known NWMP serial number range. Some of the others in that series also have Alberta Provincial Police (APP)

That said I would not switch a sight that matched the gun's condition because of the

I didn't mean to imply anything was wrong with this gun. I just thought…
…it unusual to have the carbine sight normally associated with 1866 and 1873 carbines when the standard sight for the 1876 carbines was the sporting leaf rear sight with graduations from 2-10. I would expect that 1886 carbines would follow a similar pattern.
Here is a photo…

It's interesting your early 1886 carbine has a sporting leaf rear sight marked 1873. I didn't expect that. The Model 1876 carbines generally had the 1876 marked sporting leaf rear sight with range marks from 2 to 10.
See below.
The sight pictured is not a…
…sporting leaf, it is an early 44a carbine sight and could have been on that early 1886 carbine. Sporting leaf sights were usually rifles 1876, 1886, Hotchkiss sporting rifles. The 42a is longer and the stop screw is in the middle and point of sight is longer. Here are 2, right early 1876, left
