Manufactured in 1883 as a third model with the integral dust cover rail and dust cover with serrations at the rear, the Model 1876 was popular among those in the west that believed .44-40 wasn't quite enough stopping power for whatever they might encounter. The rifle is fitted with a dovetail blade front sight, an elevation adjustable rear sight (marked "76" on interior spring) and a folding peep sight. The top barrel flat is stamped with the two-line address/patent dates marking ahead of the rear sight. The rifle correctly lacks a caliber marking. Mounted with smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock fitted with a trapdoor crescent buttplate (cleaning rod not included).
