Make: Winchester

Model: 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine

Serial Number: 788585

Year of Manufacture: 1915

Caliber: .44-40 WCF

Action Type: Lever Action Rifle with Side Loading Gate fed by Tubular Magazine

Barrel Length: 20”, Round

Sights / Optics: The front sight is a blade pinned to a slotted base fixed to the barrel behind the front band. The rear sight is a folding ladder-style sight, presenting a "U"-notch when down and with a "U"-notch slider on the ladder. The top tang is drilled, tapped and filled for a tang sight (none present).

Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are two-piece smooth walnut with a banded forend, straight grip, straight comb, and steel carbine-style buttplate. There is cracking around the heel, a crack on the left-rear edge of the stock and one at the left-front edge of the wrist. The stocks have scattered nicks, dings, scuffs and scratches. The LOP measures 12 3/4” from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttplate. The buttplate shows treatment with cold blue and scattered surface erosion. Overall, the stocks rate in Good condition as refinished.

Type of Finish: Blue

Finish Originality: Refinished

Bore Condition: The bore is dark with well defined rifling. There is erosion and pitting scattered through the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates about 4 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 70% of its current metal finish. The finish is thinning at all edges. The balance is mostly in the receiver which has strong finish in the tangs, but has otherwise mostly worn to white. There is a little other scattered minor finish wear. The worn areas of the receiver show minor surface erosion. There are tool marks under the finish on each side of the barrel in front of the rear sight. There are some nicks, scuffs and scratches. The action shows operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to disfigured with usable slots. The markings range from clear to worn, but legible. Overall, this rifle is in Good-plus condition as refinished.

Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We did not fire this firearm. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance requirements.

Box, Paperwork & Accessories: None.

Our Assessment: This is a Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine made in 1915, before production of the model began to drop off during the Great Depression. The rifle is chambered in .44-40 Winchester and has a 20" round barrel. This rifle is in Good-plus condition as refinished, showing wear consistent with its age of more than a century. The 1892 is a classic Winchester lever gun, making appearances in a wild array of Western movies and television shows as well as seeing extensive use all across America as a hunting and utility rifle. This rifle should be of interest to the Winchester collectors and would be a good candidate for restoration. Please see our photos and good luck!
