Description:
“CENTENNIAL MODEL” Antique WINCHESTER M1876 .40-60 WCF Lever Action RIFLE 

Classic WILD WEST Repeater Made in 1892

Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1876 Lever Action Rifle chambered in .40-60 WCF, made in 1892 in New Haven, Connecticut. The Winchester Model 1876, also known as the “Centennial Model” due to it appearing in time for America’s 100-year birthday celebration, became their “full-power” answer in the firearms market, with only 63,872 total being made beginning in 1876 and continuing through1898. The main difference between the Model 1876 over preceding Winchester designs was its enlarged receiver specifically designed to handle the larger, full-power cartridges. The tube magazine could hold up to 15 rounds, depending on the cartridge the rifle was chambered in. The barrel lengths varied between 23 and 36 inches, with all lengths between available.

Overall, the Model 1876 more than proved its worth as a Winchester lever action repeater. It was a powerful firearm with great stopping power and reliability second to none. Some of the famous names to use the Model 1876 included the Texas Rangers, the Canadian Mounted Police, the Apache war chief Geronimo, and former US President Teddy Roosevelt. Roosevelt’s first Winchester was a Model 1876 which he ordered when he was 22 years old.

The overall condition is good. This example sports a mixed gray-brown patina. Strong action, although the lever only intermittently cocks the hammer. The bore has darkened and most of the rifling is discernable. The rear sight is a replacement. Some divots are found on the left side of the buttstock and a wood sliver is missing near the forend cap. Full octagon barrel. A cosmetic scratch is on the right side of the receiver.
