Winchester Model 1876

28 inch Octagon Barrel w/Ammo & Dies
Description:
Update 8/4/2022:
[It seems that some folks are interested in this rifle for shooting. To answer those questions, I loaded five of the ten unfired cases with 60 grains of GOEX Cartridge grade black powder and 350 grain cast bullets with SPG lube. I used 60 grains, as that is the amount that fills the case to the level of the bullet base using a hand powder measure. From what I have read, I can use my Lyman Black Powder measure and a 24 inch drop tube and get 70 grains in the cases, but I didn't want to set all that up for five cartridges. The rifle worked perfectly, firing the cartridges with the correct primer indentation and extracting and ejecting the cases as it should. I wasn't trying for accuracy, but put the bullets in a 6 inch circle at 25 yards.
Additionally, there was a question about the area of the wrench marks. I removed the magazine tube and the front wood and examined this area carefully. The slight "rounding" of the corners of the octagon barrel was due to an improperly fitted wrench trying to turn the barrel for some unknown reason. Then, a file was used to try to clean up the marring. On the right side at the wood line, there is an area that was filed just forward of the wrench damage. This appears to br to have been an attempt to remove a couple of rust pits, as there are a couple more just forward of that area which were not filed. The pitting is not deep enough to be any concern and the filed area needs to be touched up with some cold blue. I will leave that to the new owner.
The rifle was lots of fun to shoot (except for the cleaning) and may end up spending more time at the range if it does not sell.]
This listing is for my Winchester Model 1876 rifle in caliber 45-75 with 28 inch octagon barrel. This rifle came from Idaho in 2002 and has been in my collection for almost 20 years. It is in very good physical and mechanical condition. The bore has good rifling with fine pitting in the grooves, but still maintains some "shine". I purchased two 76's about the same time with the intention of shooting both, but ended up only shooting the 45-60. I have never fired this one (until now, see above), although I have ammo, dies, and cases for it. I sold the 45-60 several years ago and now it is time to let my final 76 go.
The rifle has good solid wood with no cracks or damage except normal scratches from use. Both the receiver and barrel have traces of nice original blue in protected areas, but I consider both to be mostly brown or blue-turning-to-brown. It is a 3rd Model with the integral dust cover rail. The serial number is 501xx, putting manufacture in the 1884-85 time frame. The Winchester Factory Letter is included with the rifle showing it received in the warehouse in October 1885 and shipped out February 1, 1886. The action is crisp and works well. I see no reason that this rifle would not shoot as well as it did in 1886. The only flaw I can find with the rifle is some marks on the barrel just ahead of the receiver where it looks like someone has used a wrench on it. Looking at the rifle overall, I do not see any reason this was done. I have tried to show these marks in two of the photos. There are six or seven tiny vertical marks on the left side of the buttstock, with the most forward one looking like a "notch" , although very light. Could this have been a record of the number of buffalo or something else the rifle was used for, or just random belt buckle scratches?? I tried to show them in a photo, but they are probably too light to show up. The buttplate has the brass sliding cover which works properly- not too tight nor too loose.
The rifle comes with a full box of 20 Old Western Scrounger cartridges loaded with black powder, 5 unfired cases and 5 once-fired cases formed from 348 Win. cases, and an unused set of Lee reloading dies. The ammo must be shipped separately from the rifle.
I hate to see this one go. It is a very nice rifle, but I need to sell those guns I no longer use due to my age and the fact that my children do not want them.
I only sell to persons 21 years of age and older. Payment must be by USPS Money Orders for immediate shipping. I can accept a bank cashiers check, but will delay shipping for 7 days. Rifle will be shipped in a new, good quality, padded hard case with full insurance. Being an antique, it can be shipped directly to you if your local laws permit. I can ship through a FFL dealer if you need shipping that way. Also, local pickup with cash can be arranged. I will need a copy of your drivers license to prove you are over 21 years of age and to verify your address (the license number may be blacked out if you desire).
I would be glad to try to answer any questions you might have. Also I can text a photo from my iPhone if you have a specific area you want to see more closely. I have photos on my phone of the bore and of the area under the front wood.

Both the receiver and barrel have traces of nice original blue in protected areas, but I consider both to be mostly brown or blue-turning-to-brown. It is a 3rd Model with the integral dust cover rail. The serial number is 501xx, putting manufacture in the 1884-85 time frame. The Winchester Factory Letter is included with the rifle showing it received in the warehouse in October 1885 and shipped out February 1, 1886. The action is crisp and works well. I see no reason that this rifle would not shoot as well as it did in 1886. The only flaw I can find with the rifle is some marks on the barrel just ahead of the receiver where it looks like someone has used a wrench on it. Looking at the rifle overall, I do not see any reason this was done. I have tried to show these marks in two of the photos. There are six or seven tiny vertical marks on the left side of the buttstock, with the most forward one looking like a "notch" , although very light. Could this have been a record of the number of buffalo or something else the rifle was used for, or just random belt buckle scratches?? I tried to show them in a photo, but they are probably too light to show up. The buttplate has the brass sliding cover which works properly- not too tight nor too loose.
The rifle comes with a full box of 20 Old Western Scrounger cartridges loaded with black powder, 5 unfired cases and 5 once-fired cases formed from 348 Win. cases, and an unused set of Lee reloading dies. The ammo must be shipped separately from the rifle.
I hate to see this one go. It is a very nice rifle, but I need to sell those guns I no longer use due to my age and the fact that my children do not want them.
I only sell to persons 21 years of age and older. Payment must be by USPS Money Orders for immediate shipping. I can accept a bank cashiers check, but will delay shipping for 7 days. Rifle will be shipped in a new, good quality, padded hard case with full insurance. Being an antique, it can be shipped directly to you if your local laws permit. I can ship through a FFL dealer if you need shipping that way. Also, local pickup with cash can be arranged. I will need a copy of your drivers license to prove you are over 21 years of age and to verify your address (the license number may be blacked out if you desire).
I would be glad to try to answer any questions you might have. Also I can text a photo from my iPhone if you have a specific area you want to see more closely. I have photos on my phone of the bore and of the area under the front wood.

Update 8/4/2022:
[It seems that some folks are interested in this rifle for shooting. To answer those questions, I loaded five of the ten unfired cases with 60 grains of GOEX Cartridge grade black powder and 350 grain cast bullets with SPG lube. I used 60 grains, as that is the amount that fills the case to the level of the bullet base using a hand powder measure. From what I have read, I can use my Lyman Black Powder measure and a 24 inch drop tube and get 70 grains in the cases, but I didn't want to set all that up for five cartridges. The rifle worked perfectly, firing the cartridges with the correct primer indentation and extracting and ejecting the cases as it should. I wasn't trying for accuracy, but put the bullets in a 6 inch circle at 25 yards.
Additionally, there was a question about the area of the wrench marks. I removed the magazine tube and the front wood and examined this area carefully. The slight "rounding" of the corners of the octagon barrel was due to an improperly fitted wrench trying to turn the barrel for some unknown reason. Then, a file was used to try to clean up the marring. On the right side at the wood line, there is an area that was filed just forward of the wrench damage. This appears to br to have been an attempt to remove a couple of rust pits, as there are a couple more just forward of that area which were not filed. The pitting is not deep enough to be any concern and the filed area needs to be touched up with some cold blue. I will leave that to the new owner.
The rifle was lots of fun to shoot (except for the cleaning) and may end up spending more time at the range if it does not sell.]
This listing is for my Winchester Model 1876 rifle in caliber 45-75 with 28 inch octagon barrel. This rifle came from Idaho in 2002 and has been in my collection for almost 20 years. It is in very good physical and mechanical condition. The bore has good rifling with fine pitting in the grooves, but still maintains some "shine". I purchased two 76's about the same time with the intention of shooting both, but ended up only shooting the 45-60. I have never fired this one (until now, see above), although I have ammo, dies, and cases for it. I sold the 45-60 several years ago and now it is time to let my final 76 go.
