This lot features a great example of a Winchester Model 1892 lever action rifle chambered in 38 W.C.F. (Winchester Center Fire) caliber. This rifle was manufactured in 1893. The rifle features a 24" round barrel, wonderful straight grain walnut stocks, blue'd finish, and fixed sights. The Winchester Model 1892 was a lever-action repeating rifle designed by John Browning as a smaller, lighter version of his large-frame Model 1886, and which replaced the Model 1873 as the company's lever-action for pistol-caliber rounds. When asked by Winchester to design an improved lever action to compete with a recent Marlin offering, John Browning said he would have the prototype completed in under a month or it would be free. Within 2 weeks, Browning had a functioning prototype of the 92. Caliber's for the rifle vary and some are custom-chambered. The original rounds were the .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40 Winchester centerfire rounds, followed in 1895 by the new .25-20. This rifle is in good condition, with some handling and wear from use. The top of the barrel is marked, "Manufactured by the Winchester Repeating Arms Co. New Haven, Conn. U.S.A. - 38 W.C.F." The barrel and frame show the correct Winchester proof marks. The rifle tang is marked, "Model 1892 - Winchester - Pat. Oct. 14. 1884". Serial Number: 12569. This firearm qualifies as an Antique, and does not require FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
