Sights / Optics: The front sight is a beaded blade dovetailed to the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a folding ladder-style sight, presenting a "V"-notch when down and with a "U"-notch slider on the ladder. The slider is fairly loose on the ladder. The top tang is drilled and tapped with a folding tang sight installed, adjustable for elevation.

Stock Configuration & Condition: The stocks are two-piece smooth walnut with a capped forend, straight grip, straight comb, and steel crescent buttplate. There are holes in the belly and the bottom of the forend for sling studs (none present). There is a short, thin crack on the right-front of the forend and a long, thin crack in the bottom-front. There are cracks in each side of the wrist. There is material loss around the hole in the belly. The stocks have scattered nicks, scuffs and scratches. The LOP measures 12 7/8” from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttplate. The buttplate has mostly worn to white with scattered surface erosion. Overall, the stocks rate in Good condition.

Type of Finish: Blue

Finish Originality: Remaining finish is Original to the parts. Worn areas of the receiver show treatment with cold blue. The barrel markings indicate it is a later replacement.

Bore Condition: The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. There is some light erosion in the bore. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates about 8 out of 10.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 70% of its metal finish. The finish is thinning at all edges. The barrel has generally strong finish with some scattered light wear. The receiver has a mottled appearance with some original finish and worn areas showing treatment with cold blue. There are scattered nicks and scratches. The receiver has some minor surface erosion. 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 about Very Good condition as not parts-original.

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: The Winchester 1892 is essentially a Model 1886 action which was miniaturized for use with pistol caliber cartridges. Just as the 1886 would replace the 1876, the 1892 would replace the 1873. As the 1886 was designed by John Browning, it was not difficult for him to develop the 1892. After boasting to Winchester that he would have a prototype within a month, he actually had a functioning prototype in only two weeks. The Model 1892 rifle was popular with ranchers and later was the rifle of choice for western movies and TV shows, John Wayne used both M1892 rifles and carbines in many of his western movies. The M1892 rifles again became popular in the 1980s with the advent of Cowboy Action shooting, as they were smooth and dependable.

This is a Winchester Model 1892 Rifle made in 1911. The rifle is chambered in .25-20 Winchester and has a 24" round barrel. The barrel markings indicate that it is a later replacement. The rifle is in about Very Good condition retaining about 70% of its metal finish with a strong bore and good mechanics. This will be a nice piece to add to a collection and should still prove to be a fun shooter. Please see our photos and good luck!
