Make: Winchester

Model: 1892 Takedown

Serial Number: 934948

Year of Manufacture: 1924

Caliber: .25-20 WCF

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

Barrel Length: 24”, Octagonal

Sights / Optics: The front sight is a beaded blade dovetailed to the barrel the bead shows wear and does not appear to be original to the sight. The rear sight is a Winchester Express sight with three folding "V"-notch leaves marked "50", "1" and "2", dovetailed to the rear of the barrel. The top flat of the barrel is matted for glare reduction. 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 capped forend, straight grip, straight comb, and steel crescent buttplate. The stocks have scattered light nicks, scuffs and scratches, most have been finished-over. There are no chips or cracks. 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 or gone to a light patina with scattered surface erosion. Overall, the stocks rate in Very Good condition as refinished.

Type of Finish: Blue

Finish Originality: Original, the bore has been re-lined.

Bore Condition: The bore is mostly bright with sharp rifling. There is no erosion in the bore, but there is some stubborn fouling. In this writer's opinion, the bore rates 8+ out of 10 as re-lined.

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 35% of its metal finish. The finish is thinning at all edges. The receiver and barrel extension are mostly worn to white. There is scattered finish wear on the barrel and magazine. The magazine also shows wear from disassembly/reassembly. There is scattered surface erosion in the receiver and barrel extension. There is scattered minor surface oxidation, mostly in the worn areas. There are scattered nicks, scuffs and scratches. The action shows operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to disfigured with usable slots. The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle is in Good condition.

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 Rifle made in 1924, just a few years before production of the model began to drop off during the Great Depression. The rifle is chambered in .25-20 Winchester with a 24" octagonal barrel and a couple of neat features. First, the rifle is a takedown, quickly able to separate the barrel and magazine from the receiver for storage or transport. The rear sight is a Winchester Express sight with three folding "V"-notches. Perhaps most scarce is the matting applied along the entire top flat of the barrel, with an offset Winchester proof indicating that this is a factory feature. The bore has been re-lined, so this should prove to be a good shooter. 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!
