Description:
JUST WHEN YOU THINK YOU'VE SEEN EVERYTHING TURNED OUT BY THE WINCHESTER FACTORY... 1892 RIFLE THAT WAS RETURNED TO THE FACTORY AND FITTED WITH A MODEL 65 BARREL IN .25-20 CALIBER! Obviously done at the factory as the barrel has the "mail-order" oval proof PLUS the regular Winchester firing proof mark which indicates the factory pulled this extra barrel out of inventory and instead of "mailing" it out used it themselves to rebarrel this 1892 that was obviously returned for work! The serial number on the receiver is in the 330XXX range or about a 1906 manufacture, so it was returned some time later- probably quite a bit later as the butt stock has the finely checkered shotgun style used on post war guns, butt stock and forearm match perfectly in color, correct button style 1/2 magazine as the Model 65 barrel has no provision for a full magazine, correct 22" length with integral ramp and hooded front sight (hood intact), Marked on left side of the barrel "Model 65" and also the late ".25-20 WCF" marking., receiver blue ageing to plum/brown, fine aged barrel blue also mixing a little plum/brown (matches receiver nicely), PERFECT BRIGHT BORE, A real oddity and all factory Winchester!!
