HARD TO FIND WINCHESTER '76 PARTS

[1988RRC]

I have checked the typical sources for some hard to find Winchester '76 parts; does anyone have any other ideas or know of
someone that has this stuff sitting around.

I am looking for the front and rear sling swivels and i may need a finger lever spring

Does anyone have detailed photos of the two parts?  this would be helpful as well.

For the lever spring, call Charters Arms.  The Chaparrals were re-engineered from originals and believe they still have parts available for sale.  Another sourcee also ... http://www.vtigunparts.com/store/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=43&cat=Uberti+1876+Rifle

That's a common sling swivel!  Brownell's - Nurmich - or http://www.vtigunparts.com/store/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=37&cat=Uberti+1860+Henry
Your on you own now - do an Internet search!

Hey 1988RRC,  Have you ever tried Buckinghams Antique Winchesters?  He is out of Trenton, Tennessee.  I have orders hard to find parts from him.  Pretty good person.

Cheers,

OKDEE:
the phone numbers for Buckingham's have been disconnected and his email address is not recognized.

I'm still looking.  I have a line on a rear swivel assembly, but its not in the bag yet.

thanks

I have a spring - just don't recall if it is a lever or carrier spring!    I'll check and see.
