Politics of France The 1877 general election held to elect the third legislature of the French Third Republic 3rd Republic was held on 14 and 28 October 1877 after President of France President Patrice de MacMahon dissolved the National Assembly, elected in 1876 to benefit the conservatives and royalists. It is noteworthy, however, to say that even though the monarchists lost the election, they increased their seat total over 1876 the Republicans lost 80 seats, but retained a majority advantage of 313 seats over the opposition. It is the only election, along with the French legislative election, 1997 1997 election , where the sitting President lost a general election which they had called. This election proved a serious defeat for those hoping for a restoration of the monarchy, such as MacMahon.

In 1877, many changes were made to both the Model 1873 rifle and the Model 1873 carbine the carbine was just a shorter version of the rifle . Historically, the Model 1877 rifle has just been considered to be a variant of the Model 1873, while the Model 1877 carbine has been considered to be a separate model. The most visible change was made to the stock. The buttstock comb was extended further forward on the wrist to strengthen the wrist s weak spot. The wrist itself was also thickened. Prior to 1877, the breechblock had a high arch machined out of it, making it lighter. The Model 1877 no longer had the arch machined out of it, though the reason for this modification is not clear. Gas ports along the upper ridges of the receiver were also extended, which may explain why the arch on the breechblock was removed at the same time. After the Battle of Little Bighorn , Springfield Armory was assigned the task of providing a cleaning rod for the carbine version that could also be used to remove stuck cartridges. A three piece steel rod was designed that fit into the butt. This required a new butt plate specifically for the carbine, as the longer rifle already included a ramrod and did not need these modifications. The rear sight ... more details
