1918 WINCHESTER Model 1892 Lever Action RIFLE .25-20 WCF Octagonal Barrel
WORLD WAR I Era Lever Action Rifle
Description: 1918 WINCHESTER Model 1892 Lever Action RIFLE .25-20 WCF Octagonal Barrel WORLD WAR I Era Lever Action Rifle Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle chambered in .25-20 WCF, made in 1918 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 from1892 through 1938 and produced upwards to 1,000,000 rifles. Carbines such as this one continued production through 1941. The Model 1892 was first chambered in .44-40 cartridges, and in 1895 the 25 WCF emerged. The .25 WCF was, and still is, a fairly short-range, medium range game cartridge. In April 1919, Winchester eliminated the “18” and “19” from the model names of all of the various models that were in active production. So, after this date, the Model 1892 would have been the Model 92. 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 fine. Original blue finish. The action is excellent. The bore is bright with strong rifling. The walnut stock is smooth and solid. Own the original!
