Rafa, I'm sorry I replaced your pictures but I need them all to match and yours were all full screen sized, mine were edited widescreen. I hope you didn't mind. -GM45

1873 Winchester vs. 1876 Winchester

Doesn't Waite's (Kevin Costner) rifle look more like a Winchester 1876? I just watched this movie, and when I saw the gun the first I thought was that it was a 1876--User: Colt Revolver Fan.

No there is a difference. Compare the two photos of the 1873 and the 1876 then look at the rifle Costner is using. It's an 1873. --Jcordell 21:33, 12 March 2010 (UTC)

First the Winchester 1873. Note the back of the reciever where it meets the rifle stock.
