Description:
Exceptional example of the rare Model 1876 with a 28" round barrel, full length magazine, and chambered in 40-60 Caliber. S/N 42597 made in 1884.
Overall condition is outstanding, showing very strong and consistent bluing throughout with some nice case colors remaining on the hammer, lever, and trigger. The loading gate shows vivid fire blue. There are a few light rubs on the receiver walls and high edges, rated approximately 95%.
The wood is nearly as fine, having never been sanded or repaired, showing only typical light handling marks/scrapes and a couple of isolated mars, rated approximately 90%.
There are no cracks anywhere, nor any other notable detractors. Original sights include a german silver front and standard issue ladder type rear which is graduated to 1000 yards and correctly stamped 1876. The action's dust cover is tight and smooth with strong bluing.
The steel crescent buttplate is in excellent shape as well and has a smooth sliding trap door with a 5 section steel cleaning rod present. The excellent bore is bright and shiny throughout its length.
The mechanical functions are all working flawlessly, tight and crisp throughout.
Comes complete with a Winchester Gun Museum curator letter dated 1963 confirming production and current configuration.
With less than 64K Model 1876s ever produced, nearly all are highly collectible. To find one in this fine of condition can be a real challenge so don't miss out!
Please add $100 for expedited and fully insured shipping from Alaska in a custom cut foam lined box for maximum protection.
