1876 Winchester

[Kp321]

I have a Winchester 1876 in for repair. Needs a new sear. I have done an internet search and have not turned up many 1876 parts at all.
Question, would an 1873 sear fit this rifle? Not many of them available either but the chances would be better of finding one than an 1876 part.
Anyone have a secret supplier that may have my part?

VTI shows the same part for Uberti "upper trigger" (looks like a sear to me) on 1873 and 1876 repros.
Does that apply to a real Winchester?
Will an Italian part fit or be made to fit a real Winchester?

Thanks for the link to VTI. Their diagram is not detailed enough to tell if the upper trigger is the same as the original Winchester but for $22.00 I will find out unless someone else knows for sure.

VTI are very good people. Call them first, I think you can send your part in and they will see if they match.
