…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

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.

…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
