Description:
MODEL 1876 OCTAGON RIFLE IN .40-60 CALIBER, #51XXX, MADE 1885. Interestingly, the .40-60 was Teddy Roosevelt’s favorite caliber in the Model 1876 for antelope hunting on his ranch in North Dakota during the 1880s. This is a good, solid example with 28” octagon barrel and full magazine. It also has the desirable “sporting ladder” rear sight which was made for this model and is marked “1876” on the top portion of the ladder. Front sight is a later blade/bead. The slide is intact in this sight. The barrel and magazine show fine aged blue with the barrel showing some additional ageing and some mixing with brown. The receiver has a mostly aged blue/brown appearance with one side plate screw a replacement. The butt stock shows only minor wear/handling and the bottom rear of the forend shows some light saddle wear- both butt stock and forend are solid and have never been sanded or refinished. Dust cover is intact and the mellow brass lifter is correctly marked “40-60.” Tight action and strong springs, the bore shows some wear, but has good rifling all the way through with only some scattered light fairly surface roughness toward the middle. All markings are fine. Attractive example of a very hard to find model.
