This rifle was professionally restored by Pete Crance from Michigan. This is a hobby with Pete not a business. He spends a lot of time bringing back some of these old Antique Winchesters to their original condition using all of their original parts if possible. After all, if the Winchesters are brown today, what will they look like 100 years from now? They will be un-restorable. In to-days world Quality Restoration is understood and appreciated. You can buy a Quality Restoration for a 3^rd of the price of an original in the same condition. All of the metal on this rifle was hand polished. No buffing here… The Case Colors and Blue have been knocked down to about a 90% overall finish appearance. The mechanics are excellent. Wood to metal fit is excellent also. Before this 76 was restored the butt stock had been repaired early in its life time. It was a major repair. 90% of the repair is now hidden in the original checkering design. This does not detract from the overall appearance of this very fine rifle. Please look at all of the pictures. I will be glad to answer any questions and supply additional pictures to serious buyers. Don’t miss out on this one. It will go fast.
