Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle
serial #268599, 32 W.C.F., 24'' octagon barrel with full magazine and a good bore with pinprick and intermittent light pitting but evident rifling throughout. The barrel and magazine tube retain about 85-90% original blue with light wear on the high edges and contact points, light thinning, and some scattered light dings and tool marks; the magazine hanger has worn to gray. The receiver retains about 40% original blue, primarily along the sides with the left thinning moderately, with the balance worn to a pewter-gray patina with light handling marks, small spots of pinprick pitting, and minor freckling, and the lever and hammer retain good case-hardened colors mellowing to gray with scattered specks of oxidation. The straight grip walnut stock and forend are in very good condition with a small notch at the comb tip, light dings and handling marks largely softened by time, and an older added finish; the steel curved buttplate has toned to gray with light oxidation staining and shallow pitting at the toe. The two-line Winchester address and other factory markings are intact and easily legible, the tang marking concealed beneath the aperture sight, and a few of the screws show light slot wear, the tang screw more moderate. The rifle is sighted with a Sheard bead front sight, adjustable sporting-style semi-buckhorn rear sight, and tang-mounted aperture rear sight; the front screw for the tang sight will not seat flush, but the sight still appears securely mounted. A handsome 1904-made Model 92. (14B11523-53) {C&R} [Jim Thrash Collection] (1000/1500)
