Description:
This USED Winchester Model 1876 rifle has NO CALIBER MARKINGS and must have the chambers cast by a certified gun smith to determine. It features a 28-inch barrel with an adjustable rear sight. The serial number puts the date of manufacturing to 1883. The model 1876 is also known during the period as the Centennial Rifle, since it was introduced during the great Centennial Exhibition (the first US held "World's Fair") in Philadelphia on the 100th anniversary of American Independence. The rifle was Winchester's answer to the complaint that the earlier Model 1866 and Model 1873 lever action rifles were not powerful enough for serious use when hunting big game or for long range shooting. Beginning in 1876, Winchester produced 63,871 Model 1876 rifles, carbines and muskets, with the model discontinued in 1897. These relatively low production numbers for a Winchester rifle make it the least common of all the Winchester lever action rifles of the pre-1900 era. In 1879, Winchester added the .45-60 and .50-95 calibers to the list of chamberings for the M1876 and eventually the .40-60 was added to the optional chamberings as well. The Model 1876 was the first successful big-bore lever action rifle to be used on the Great Plains and was never challenged for supremacy, even by competitors like the Colt Lighting Large Frame rifle, the Whitney-Kennedy and the Marlin 1881. .45-75 Winchester
