Welcome to the The Winchester Model 1876 board.

[Grizzly Adams]

Great idea, a radio program for cowboy action shooters!   I like it!   CAS City  just keeps getting better and better.

Thanks for the commercial, and thanks for making this board possible for us.

Great idea Don!  Here's a couple of mine.

Uberti 76 in 45-60 with 22 inch octagon barrel.



Original short rifle.  22 inch round barrel with shotgun butt and British proof marks.  I kinda like short rifle and carbines!

As a Chapparal owner..............I gotta say I'm impressed with how sharp and crisp the metal is on that Uberti!
Wood to metal fit is awesome too!!!!

Some fine looking rifles I'm seeing gents...would like to see more.

Here's one of my original carbines.  This is a Mountie in .45-75 WCF that was shipped in April of 1885, just in time to serve in the Reil Rebellion.  It was last documented in service at Ft. Saskatchewan in December of 1894.  The gun still retains 80% of it's original bright blue and it has a near perfect bore.    Later on, I will put up a photo of the ammo and reloading tools.  If you want to see more 1876 stuff, let me know.  I've got a pile of it.

That is an extraoridnary piece, Buck.  Thanks for putting it up for us.  I am certain all we 76 junkies would love to see more of your collection.

This is Winchesters easliest Model 1880, 1st issue reloading tool.  The early spoon handle tools of this model were not marked with the Winchester name, only the patent date and caliber.  This one is often called the "patent tool" because the patent had been applied for but not yet issued.  The caliber marking on this one is .45-75 WCF.  I actually use this tool when reloading for my 76's.   The brass bullet mold is also Winchester, but marked only with the .45-75 WCF caliber.  This is the 3rd issue Winchester bullet mold of the same period as the tool.  The box of ammo is the rare MODEL " CETENNIAL" 1876 box.  This is not however, the earliest .45-75 WCF ammo.   The label dates it to the mid to late 1890 period.  Yes, it is full of it's original Winchester factory ammunition.  Hope you enjoy looking at this stuff.

Adios,
Buck

Greetings all..I finally have been able to sign on here. Nice to be with such a distinguished group.
I have 5 1/2 &6's   which includes one Uberti 45-60.   The half is in pieces and needs to be restored. Thats a 40-60 round barrel rifle.
I have not been able to work up a load and play with the Uberti too much yet but I have shot my original 45-75 deluxe. Whatta monster

I keep hoping I'll stumble on to an original in excellent shape at a rummage sale...and the sellers don't know what the have and let it go for some change.
