ROARING TWENTIES Lever Action Rifle
Description: c1923 mfr. WINCHESTER Model 92 Lever Action Rifle .25-20 WCF C&R BROWNING ROARING TWENTIES Lever Action Rifle Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 92 Lever Action Rifle chambered in .25-20 WCF, made in 1923 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. 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, prior to this date, the Model 92 would have been the Model 1892. 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 very good. Lightly cleaned/refinished. The action is excellent. The bore is in fine shape: bright with sharp rifling. The walnut stock is in great shape, smooth and solid. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic. Barrel is 24 inches. Caliber: .25-20 Winchester Center Fire Overall condition as seen in photos. Very Fast. Very Safe. FREE SHIPPING. Will need to be sent to your local FFL or C&R licensee. This firearm is classified as a Curio & Relic.
