More Information
The first authoritative study of the Winchester Model 1876 written using the company's own records. This book dispels the myth that the Model 1876 was merely a larger version of the Winchester company's famous Model 1873 and instead traces its true origins to designs developed immediately after the American Civil War. The specifics of the model-such as the numbers made in its standard calibers, barrel lengths, finishes and special order features-are fully listed here for the first time. In addition, the actual processes and production costs involved in its manufacture are also completely documented. For Winchester collectors, and those interested in the mechanics of the 19th-century arms industry, this book provides a wealth of previously unpublished information.
