The fee is included in the price you see in the Lease to Own dialog. The lock plate is stamped with the eagle and shield motif in front of the hammer followed by 'U.S./SPRINGFIELD/1873' in three lines, and the breechblock has the distinctive 'MODEL/1873' with an eagle head over crossed arrows above 'U.S.'. Long term service fee is a fee percentage added when you pick a period longer than 1 year. You won’t receive the ownership of the domain and the domain will be returned to the original seller.

When the final installment is paid for, we will assist you with transferring the domain to a registrar of your choice and changing the ownership records of the domain.
) Domain transfer after the final installment is paid. Once the transfer is done (this can vary per domain since some registrars approve transfers only after 5 days) you can manage the DNS of the domain via your Buyer Control Panel. I find when I want to just shoot for fun I most often use the OM.it has become my most often shot rifle.After the first payment, our system automatically transfers the domain to our own holding registrar to keep it safe and available for you. Having extensively tried both sights with both 45-70 and 45-55 cartridges I went back to the "R" rear sight and simply use the "80% rule" because the OMs sight radii is 80% of the rifles. However, beyond those ranges the 45-55 carbine ammunition does not stay regulated to the sight settings of an "R" of "C" M1879 rear sights nearly as well as does the 45-70 service load with the "R" M1879 rear sight. It is amazing how having a properly zeroed rifle can give that impression. That made it accurate for hunting (foraging of game animals to supplement rations was quite common) and it often gave the impression the officers were "excellent" shots. The 45-55 ammunition, because of its lower velocity, hit much closer to point of aim at 100 yards and second of all for its use the 45-55 ammunition even then hits very close out to 250 - 300 yards and even sometimes close to 400 yards depending on the initial zero. The Winchester Repeating Arms Company may have thought that domestic military sales would make up most of the orders for the firearm, but in. This was simply because the soldiers were trained to aim at the bottom of any target (our 6 o'clock hold). The 1866 was already quite popular when the smaller, yet quite similar 1873 model was released. The original OMs, just like the infantry rifles and Carbines, were sighted to hit close to 12- 14" high at 100 yards. It is my belief based on actual shooting of the 45-55 Carbine load that such load was favored because it first of all hit closer to the actual POA at 100 yards than did service level M1873 45-70 ammunition. That is mostly written by those who are writing about others shooting the OMs. I have read numerous reports of the 45-55 Carbine load being favored in the OM because of recoil however I do not quite accept that. However, if one uses a correct height of rest and elbow pads then even off the bench shooting service level rifle loads in the OM is not troublesome and quite fun actually. It can be annoying from the bench if one has a poor shooting position crouching too low on the bench. So far it works very well to 1000 yards (that would be with an 800 yard sight setting) with my OM.Ĭontrary to some opinion I do not find the recoil of service level loads in the OM "troublesome". For 200 yards the sight is set on 160 yards, for 300 yards the sight is on 240 yards, etc. With my OM and the rear sight set at the bottom (100 yard range setting) the group hits just above POA at 100 yards with service level loads. Once you get the rifle zeroed with a "service" 1873 level load (a 400 - 415 gr cast at 1350 fps) then use "80%" of the estimated or measured range for the M1879 rear sight range setting.
With the sight radii on my OM with the '79 "R" rear sight I use the "80% rule" for sight adjustment.
