The LOP measures 12 7/8” from the front of the trigger to the back of the buttplate. The buttplate has wear at the heel and scattered light surface erosion, mostly under the finish. Overall, the stocks rate in Very Good condition as refinished.

Our Assessment: This is a Winchester Model 1892 Saddle Ring Carbine made in 1917, before production of the model began to drop off during the Great Depression. The rifle is chambered in .38-40 Winchester, has a 20" round barrel, a half-length "button" magazine and a shotgun-style buttplate. This rifle is in Good condition, retaining about 40% original metal finish, a fair bore and good mechanics. 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 with its special-order features should be of interest to the Winchester collectors. Please see our photos and good luck!
