c1906 WINCHESTER M1892 Lever Action Rifle .44-40 WCF C&R John Moses Browning
ICONIC Turn of the Century REPEATER Made in 1906
Here we present a C&R Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action Rifle chambered in the very popular .44-40 Winchester Center Fire cartridge, made in 1906 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 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 trusty rifle and pistol sidearm with only one supply of ammo!
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. Original finish/patina. The action is excellent. The bore is in very good condition: bright with good rifling. The walnut stock is solid, there is a short, stable split at the rear of the forearm on the left side. The barrel mounted rear sight is a replacement from another old Winchester. This one has a nice tang-mounted peep sight!
