The 1876 Centennial Rifle and Carbine are great historical replicas inspired by originals in the Cimarron antique collection, and these models could easily pass for genuine 19th century firearms. Originally dubbed the “Centennial Model” because of its introduction during America’s 100th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, and featured at Philadelphia’s Centennial Exposition, with nearly 64,000 made from 1876-1897, the big ’76 was one of the few lever-action rifles used by the buffalo hunters. It was a favorite with many big-game hunters of the era, including future president Theodore Roosevelt, and was used by such noted frontiersmen as Tom Horn and John “Liver Eating” Johnson.
