Antique WINCHESTER 1892 Lever Action .38-40 WCF Rifle FRONTIER Wild West
Classic Lever Action Made in 1898
Description: Antique WINCHESTER 1892 Lever Action .38-40 WCF Rifle FRONTIER Wild West Classic Lever Action Made in 1898 Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle chambered in .38-40 WCF, made in 1898 in New Haven, Connecticut. Another fantastic design from the mind of John Moses Browning, the 1892 was made to replace the venerable and iconic 1873 and featured its pistol caliber chamberings. The result was a trim and light rifle that was an immediate hit and stayed in production for almost 50 years. Many gun owners favored Winchester rifles for their ability to fire the same ammunition as their pistols, meaning that a cowboy, trapper or stagecoach defender could take along his trust rifle and pistol sidearm with only one supply of ammo! The Model 1892, like many other Winchester rifles, were popular when the television show “The Rifleman” premiered in 1958 starring Chuck Connors and producers tried to find gimmicks to distinguish one show from another. The Rifleman's gimmick was a modified Winchester Model 1892 rifle, with a large ring lever drilled and tapped for a set screw. The lever design allowed him to cock the rifle by spinning it around his hand. In addition, the screw could be positioned to depress the trigger every time he worked the lever, allowing for rapid fire, emptying the magazine in under five seconds during the opening credits. The overall condition is good. Even patina throughout. The magazine tube was shortened a little over 3 inches during the period of use. The action is strong. The bore is clean and reflective with decent but worn rifling. The stock shows use. There is a stable split along the grain on the left wrist and a chip near the left side of the tang. Otherwise solid throughout. The initials “H.J.S.” can be found on the left side of the forearm. Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction. Barrel is 24 inches. Caliber: .38-40 Winchester Center Fire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE. Delivered directly to your door by express mail! Guaranteed AUTHENTIC & Includes CERTIFICATE OF AUTHENTICITY. ancestryguns $1900 #240405 SOLD Antique: Yes |
