Antique WINCHESTER 1892 .25-20 WCF Lever Rifle
Classic Lever Action Made in 1896
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle chambered in .25-20 WCF, made in 1896 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. The Model 1892 was first chambered in .32-20, 38-40, and .44-40 cartridges, and in 1895 the 25-20 emerged. Many gun owners favored Winchester rifles for their ability to fire the same ammunition as their pistols, meaning that a cowboy, trapper or stagecoach defender could take along his trust rifle and pistol sidearm with only one supply of ammo!
The Model 1892, like many other Winchester rifles, made a name for themselves in many notable Hollywood productions. She served as the firearm of choice to “The Rifleman” with actor Chuck Connors and was held in high regard by characters as portrayed by western star John Wayne. Winchester actually developed a 100th Anniversary John Wayne Commemorative Model 1892 Carbine as a collectible piece to the public.
The overall condition is fair to good. The barrel and magazine tube still bear a lot of blue finish. The markings are clear. The magazine tube has been shortened and the notch under the barrel filed on. The stock is generally solid with some obvious wear and chipping around the edges of the wrist. The bore is dim with decent rifling. There is a bulge about 12 inches from the muzzle. The action is excellent.
Own the original! This is a legitimate antique and not a reproduction.
Barrel is 24 inch octagon.
Caliber: .25-20 Winchester Center Fire
