…with that one. Also, it's a .45-60 and I'm looking for a .45-75. I appreciate keeping me informed.
According to Houze, only 802 Model 1876 rifles in .45-75 rifles were made with checkered stock and pistol grip. Not easy to find one today.

Steve, I know of an 1876 short rifle in .50-95 Express SN 16710 with a staple and sling ring. It was a presentation gun from Buffalo Bill Cody to his friend William B.

I agree. The marking does not look like an "I" to me either. The sight clearly isn't for a M1876. Otherwise, it's a nice looking sight.

My 1876 lettered as having a set trigger removed before shipping and has a trigger block. My 1873 with a hole in finger lever also has trigger block. Don
