The Winchester 1876 Membership Roster

[Grizzly Adams]

Please add me to your list my 76 NWMP 45-75 arrived yesterday.   

Congratulations on your new NWMP!  Got on the posse list, Roy.  Great screen name by the way!

[Dingelfutz]

Please sign me up. I got a chance to handle a few '76s at Turnbull's, not long ago. They told me, later, that the fingerprints and drool wiped right off! I think I feel a "bug" coming on!

Yes, we know that "bug," and it's highly contagious!   Welcome aboard!

Thank you! I look forward to coming up with "a treatment program"!

Hello the campfire!
Garret here. I humbly request to be added to the membership roster.  I have been reading on this forum as I've wanted to get one of these beauties for some time now.  I have on order a Cimarron, NWMP Carbine in .45-75 and it will probably be close to a month before I can take possession.  There's a little time before I will actually be a proud owner however I wanted to start the ball rolling and put my name in for membership.

Thanks for the opportunity!

Welcome to the fire, Garret!   I have added your name to this group of distinguished gentlemen.  Keep us posted on that NWMP Carbine!

Thanks for the welcome Grizzly!  A distinguished group of gentlemen indeed, and I look forward to the fun to come.

Thanks Grizzly. The '76 and I are getting to know each other quite well. She's a lovely Lady  But like all women she grabs your attention when she lets fly.....

Due to a bit of damage on the fore end received at Bisley I decided to strip off that horrible poly gunk that Uberti insist on putting on their wood. After steaming out the dents and some weeks of lovingly applying oil, finishing it off with Renaissance wax. She looks a $million now. The grain is superb. Liked it so much I've just done my '73 too.

I thinks pics are in order, Clive!

Griz:
A good point.  Why don't Uberti wise up and go to a handrubbed oil finish.  Years ago I had a Sharps that had been made back East before they moved to Big Timber and it had a hand rubbed oil finish.  Scratch it and put a drop of Tung oil on that scratch--problem solved!  I think that Uberti might could sell more?

I have added our pard, concho to the membership list.  Welcome concho!

[concho]

You can get your dies from Lee or CH4D.  Shorten up some 45-70 brass to 1.86 and your ready to roll.
