… so we have to buy and sell to afford to acquire things for our collections. He is a very picky and astute collector. His passion is the model 1876, but he does have a few other models that do turn his crank. Whether or not he is an NRA member or Benefactor is really a moot point. You don't
…carrying cases either. They actually made some of the presentation cases out of leather, I know this for a fact was done as early as the Model 1876, but I'm not certain for how long the practice was done for. I imagine you could have ordered the presentation case made out of whatever you wanted,
…the 1886 cartridges are based on the 45-70 and have basically the same head design. The 1886 50 calibers were based on the 45-75 from the Model 1876 and therefore have a larger rim diameter than the other 8 chamberings. The rim diameter difference is only .01" so I'm guessing that all the

…75 WCF. This was in fact the second center fire cartridge to be developed by Winchester. The first being the .44 WCF (.44-40). None of the 1876 calibers were great for buffalo. Over the years, I've shot 9 buffalo, all with an original 1876 in various calibers. These were ranch hunts so…

Maybe the 1876 wasn't enough gun for buffalo and thus the Rolling Block. I have limited my Winchster collecting to 1930-1963 because the old guns make me nervous

…a "45 WCF". The Model 92 was manufactured in 25-20 WCF, 32 WCF, 38 WCF, and 44 WCF. The 45-60 WCF was one of the cartridges made for the Model 1876, and it is way too long to for the Model 92 action.
Serial number 923842 was manufactured at least several years earlier than 1928. My estimate
…1880 Tool was still cataloged until 1896. Why was this done? Even after the models 1888, 1891 & 1894 Tools. The Reason for that is the Model 1876 Rifle calibers weren't offered in the Models 1888 & 1891, and early production of the 1894 Tool. I suspect the factory may have had a good stock…
