yes, the model 71 is basically a slightly updated 1886. minor change in the locking bolts, [ experts say it was not actually an improvement ] and any one who wanted could have ordered an 1886 all along in the same configuration as the 71, or for that matter in most any configuration you wanted - - weight, barrel weight, barrel length, stock, magazine etc there are amazing variations in the 1886s
