SPECIAL ORDER WINCHESTER MODEL 92 SRC IN CALIBER 44-40

Description:
This one is also a very interesting 92 that is constructed with both carbine and rifle features. 20 inch octagon barrel that, like other known examples, bears both standard "WP" and oval "P" proofs. Bright shiny excellent bore. Sights include a German silver blade front and semi-bickhorn rear. Barrel and magazine tube retain most all of the blue. Receiver shows some edge wear and flaking. Full length magazine tube retained by a magazine tube band usually seen on rifles and small caliber carbines. Original saddle ring. Plain walnut stocks are in fine condition with a carbine butt. Crisp tight action. These are rather unique carbines with several in this configuration are known with serial numbers around this example. It is believed these were built for the movie industry, possibly part of a 100 gun order placed in 1927 for a Tim McCoy film. Made in 1925.
