DELUXE WINCHESTER MODEL 1876 LEVER ACTION RIFLE.
SN 50058. Cal. 45-75. Fine deluxe `76 with 28" oct bbl, full magazine, modified Rocky Mountain front sight, 1876 marked ladder rear sight & a thick base tang sight with 4" staff, missing it`s aperture. Mounted with very nicely figured, about 2X American walnut with H-style checkered forearm & black insert, serpentine grip buttstock & crescent buttplate with trap containing an orig 4-pc brass & iron cleaning rod. Left side of lower tang, under the wood is marked "XX" & with the assembly #"2452". Matching assembly # is also found in top tang channel of buttstock & inside toe of buttplate.

The third model, of which this rifle is one, was the highest production with about 34,000 assembled until the end of production. Only a very small percentage of that number were ordered with deluxe configuration. The 1876 was short lived due to the advent of the Model 1886 & Marlin Model 1881 with their heavier, higher velocity cartridges. PROVENANCE: Woody Frey Collection. CONDITION: Very fine.
