Cimarron 76 NWMP Carbine in 45-75

Been looking to pick up a Cimarron 76 NWMP Carbine in 45-75. Been watching for some time. Posted looking for one couple weeks ago, nothing yet. Just wondering, are they that hard to come by?

I have one of the CImmaron crossfire carbines in 45/60 and took this buck with it in 2014.I believe most of the Uberti Cimmaron carbines. were personally imported as they weren't t stocked items in CAnada retailers here just carrying the Uberti sporting rifles.I remember asking EPPS looking for one and was told that Uberti doesn t make the 76 carbine ,ironically I bought this gun from Epps a couple of years ago.I don t think that the 76 rifles and carbines are as popular as other models as there is limited and expensive factory ammo available and unloaded brass can also be expensive and hard to find.Of all the cals the 45/60 is the easiest to shoot as brass can be made from 45/70 brass.
I just purchased one of the new Winchester 1873 sporting rifles in 44/40 and that will be my deer rifle for next deer season, hopefully I ll lucky and get a bigger one than thus guy

Very nice looking rifle. Looks like they have real nice wood on them. How do you find the new Winchester 73s?

The new 73s are excellent,the wood on them is gorgeous and the action is butter smooth.
