Introduced as the
“Centennial Rifle” in 1876, the Model 1876 was basically a
larger-framed, more powerful version of the Model 1873.
The ’76 was offered
as a sporting rifle with a 28” round, octagon or part round barrel;
express rifle with a 22” round barrel; a carbine with a 22” round
barrel; and as a musket with a 32” round barrel. Both carbine and
musket configurations have full-length forends.
Model 1876 calibers:
.45-75 W.C.F.
.45-60 W.C.F.
.40-60 W.C.F.
.50-95 Express
One of the most
desirable and historic configurations of the Model 1876 was the
Canadian North West Mounted Police saddle ring carbine. The Model
1876 was discontinued in 1898, after 63,871 guns had been produced.
