Make: Winchester

Model: 1892 Takedown Rifle

Serial Number: 233119

Year of Manufacture: 1903

Caliber: .32-20 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 Marble Sheard brass beaded blade dovetailed to the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a "U"-notch elevator sight dovetailed into the barrel; the notch is fine-adjustable for elevation. 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 nicks, dings, scuffs and scratches. Some of these have damaged or removed portions of the surface wood. There is a thin crack at the left-front of the wrist. There are small losses at the top-front corners of the wrist. 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, scattered light wear and some minor surface erosion. Overall, the stocks rate in about Very Good condition.

Type of Finish: Blue

Finish Originality: Original to the parts. The barrel markings are later vintage. The Winchester proof on the receiver may indicate that the barrel was replaced at the factory.

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

Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 87% of its metal finish. The finish is thinning at all edges. The barrel extension is mostly worn to white. There is handling wear on the bottom-front of the receiver. There are some scattered light nicks, scuffs and scratches including a cluster of marks on the bottom tang. There are scattered spots of minor oxidation. The action shows operational wear. The screw heads range from sharp to tool marked with strong slots. The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle is in 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 Takedown Rifle made in 1903. The rifle is chambered in .32-20 Winchester and has a 24" octagonal barrel. The barrel markings indicate that it was produced much later than 1903, however the Winchester proof on the receiver may indicate it is a factory replacement. This rifle is in Very Good condition, retaining a strong bore, good mechanics and the majority of its metal finish. This will be a nice piece to add to your collection and should still prove to be a good shooter. Please see our photos and good luck!
