Antique WINCHESTER 1892 Lever Action .38 WCF Rifle
First Year Production Lever Action Made in 1892
Here we present an antique Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle chambered in .38 WCF, made in 1892 in New Haven, Connecticut. This first year production lever action is 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 for almost 50 years. 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.
This rifle features a 24-inch octagon barrel chambered in .38 WCF, which would have made in a great companion to a revolver in the same caliber. The top of the barrel reads “MANUFACTURED BY THE/WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO./NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A”. The receiver tang is marked “MODEL 1892 -WINCHESTER- PAT. OCT.14.1884”.
The overall condition is very good. The blue finish is 80%. The markings are legible. The walnut stock shows use and remains smooth and solid. The bore is clean and reflective with nice rifling. The action is excellent. Here is a scarce antique 1892 Winchester made in the first year of production!
