Which model is this reciever?

[terminal99]

First post! Hello everyone! I just picked this receiver up at an estate sale. Any ideas as to which model it's to and are the parts out there to build a rifle up from it. The serial number is 7176.

Looks to be a M1868 receiver . . . .
Needs a 50/70 barrel . . . among a lot of other parts . . . and more than a ton of money . . . plus a lot of TLC!!! --Jim

The Model 1868 rifles had matching numbers, side-by-side. Finding the correctly stamped barrel will be impossible, but you should be able to get all of the parts to build a shooter. NOT the least expensive way to go about it, but it IS possible.
