Designed by John M. Browning to replace the Model 1873, the 1892 Winchester rifle became one of the most popular lever actions of all time. It was based on his Model 1886, but reduced in size and chambered for the popular short cartridges used in the Winchester 1873. Simplification of the elevator and feeding system gave the 1892 a much smoother action than previous models. While earlier rifles and shotguns may have actually Won the West, the majority of lever action rifles seen in classic Hollywood Westerns are Winchester 1892 carbines and rifles. The popularity and appeal of the Model 92 is quite easy to figure out. They are great for the Cowboy Action competitor or for the outdoorsman who needs something light, handy and powerful. The most attention has been put on the internal parts, CNC machined from solid steel, all interchangeable with each other, screw thread in inches, all parts highly polished and hardened to allow the smoothest action. This 1892 has a blued barrel and a beautiful case hardened finish that looks great as it resists the rigors of wear and harsh elements. The stock and forend are finished in a highly fugured walnut with a gloss finish.
The gun has a light smooth action and is a joy to use.
Look like it should be twice the price with the finish and action.
Don't delay, this is the last one we have
