Haven’t posted much in a while so I thought I would share a photo of a couple of 1876 Rifles I recently acquired. The one in the foreground is in .45-75 and the one in the back is in .45-60. Both of these guns were shipped out in 1881.

Cool, glad I’m not the only one who likes old rifles that have been there, done that. Can’t help but put a rifle like yours across the room every now and then and drink a toast to previous owners and hunts of years long past.

Hmmmmm….do you have any more pics?Wink

Here are a couple more photos of the 2 ’76s which by the way are for sale from my collection.

By gum, those are fine looking ’76’s. I really like that 38-40 ’73 you have as well.
