… in general, substantiate a 20% premium, maybe up to 30% if in very good to pristine condition, when it comes to the Model 1886 (or 1866, 1873, 1876, 1885, 1892, 1894, or 1895). Years ago, in the late '90's, I did see Winchester 1873 serial number 27 (?) - the question mark is due to trying…
…would pay a premium for a very early firearm, and I know that, most interestingly, the early 1886's contained features similar to those found on the 1876 (among other things, the rear ladder sight says 1876 on it and the calibre markings are in italic).
Others out there may wish to comment.
… carbine rear sight. I also have several of these "reversed" rear sights in my sight collection that are marked with both the 1873 and 1876 date. It appears that the reversed sight on the 1873 carbine was used until "approximately" serial range 118XXX, according to Jim's book
…for your thoughts. Yes, one of only a couple M1876 32 inch barrels made and the only with a heavy 32 inch barrel. Do you suppose the rifle was originally shipped with a .45/70 32 inch heavy barrel

What a rifle!
…have an 1876 in 45-60 with heavy barrel and set trigger that was received in warehouse on Aug. 13, 1881 and shipped on Sept. 7, 1887. Have often wondered why
…. With that said, it probably needs an explanation.
The 1886, 1892 and 1894 carbine barrels have 3 distinct tapers; unlike the 1866, 1873 and 1876 carbine barrels which have a straight taper.
On the 1892 and 1894 barrels, there is one taper at the breech end, which transitions to a second

As always thank you for

I would have to say it would be an 1876, checked presentation wood, straight grip, crescent butt, CC receiver and trimmings, with 34" heavy half octagon barrel, full magazine, 7 leaf

Did you happen to come across an 1876 40-60 I believe with the flip up beech or lyman front and the Mid-Range Vernier Peep sight? Although it wasn't perfect I thought it was in very

One is a full nickel with poor finish serial
…smaller than last year with many Dump Obama posters. For the Winchesters I saw 1 trapper collection and 1 1895 collection. Hardly any 1886's and 1876's. A few 73's 92's and 94's. Few if any model 70's. Don D was there with a few Winchesters and parts. Very few Winchester collectables. Did see

…have looked at very few Model 1876 rifles compared to others in the Winchester line up. But I have never seen a barrel address where the upper and lower line of type are diagonally
…A great story item is the coat that is up for auction that is claimed to belong to George A. Custer and was with him on that fateful day of June 25, 1876.

Thanks for the cricket explanation>
This rifle was paired up with an 1876 with 1/2 OB that I was interested in. I think that they paired it up with th 76 to get rid of it.
…there this winter I'll be sure to get a picture and dimensions. I just had a feeling by looking at it that it was something you'd see on a 1873 or 1876 too.

…was a decent looking restoration by Rogers I noticed awhile back. Looks like it was a lot of work.

…marked with a year code like the later model guns
I would agree with this statement. And a SN of just under 20,000 is from production during 1876 (as per data listed in Redbook) so that does not correlate.

…year at the Cody Show I was lucky enough to find a very nice 1876 45-60 that is unofficially the "King of the Safe" at my house. It is a standard sporting rifle with nothing out of the ordinary about it
…with proper looking ageing to both metal and wood. Blueing will show wear, case coloring will have ageing, bronze carriers on the Model 1873's and 1876's will have a mustard/crystalized finish, and wood will not appear to have been recently varnished. It will also have a few dings in it. Checkering…

It has been my experience that If a person who speaks out against restorations were to come across, let's say, a pistol grip deluxe Model 1873 or 1876 that is very well worn and misused with the stock busted at the wrist and pieces of wood missing, the barrel had been cut off, there is no blueing or
