I sent Marshal Halloway a suggestion for a new Society for those of us who are interested in the Winchester Model of 1876.

Given that we now have two makers building replicas of the 1876 Winchester, and being as there is little to no organized clearing house of info on these rifles and their calibers, what do you folks think about a board here devoted to the 1876?  The good Marshal is open to the idea, if we have enough interest.

I suggest The Brotherhood of 1876.  Whatscha think, pards and pardettes? Smiley

It would make me sound so OLD!  I.m on.  Rattlesnake Jack has a good topic going in the Barracks already,  Might not hurt to consolidate the info, ' cause there's quite a lot to learn!

Har!  I guess it does sound old!  I resemble that remark! Cheesy 

There is a lot to learn - or relearn - about the model of 1876.

As a new M'76 shooter I think this is a good idea as yes, there is a lot to be learned (re-learned) about the if's, and's or but's of this rifle.

So that the topic doesn't go dry after a month or two you might consider including other big bore lever and pump action rifles in it also.

Just my two bits worth.

I agree with adding other big bore lever rifles to the name of the forum.  This would not encroach upon the buffalo gun group.  Sign me up.   Wink

Sounds ok to me, but any non-pistol caliber big bor is welcome in BROw if you don't get enough interest in a seperate group.  Read the Who can join thread, just ignore the parts about Buicks if you want, we got a little off topic. Wink

Yes ... "heavy little rascals" might be a better description!   Grin

Suppose we'll each just need to get a horse to carry ours for us!   Wink
