This lot features a great example of a Winchester Model 1892 lever action rifle chambered in .25-20 WCF caliber. This rifle was manufactured in 1908. 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. Patented October 14. 1884." The barrel and frame show the correct Winchester proof marks. The rifle tang has a flip up rear sight. Number: 442249. This firearm qualifies as a Curio & Relic, and requires FFL Transfer or NICS Background Check.
