Winchester Model 1892 rifle in caliber 44 WCF aka 44-40, with all typical rifle features: 24" octagon barrel, plain walnut stocks, plain trigger, rifle butt with crescent steel butt plate, blued and case hardened finish, sporting rear sight, special order Lyman #4 Hunting front sight. Serial number 4079 indicates 1st year production in 1892.
CONDITION: Receiver retains 85% bright original blue on the sides with typical loss on the bottom and the tangs from carry wear. Loading gate retains 25% bright original fire blue. Hammer and lever retain 10% original case colors, otherwise the typical nickel-silver from fading. Front sight retains most of the original ivory bead, which has turned a tan color. Original sporting rear sight is 85% original blue. Bolt 95% bright original blue. Barrel and mag tube have 60% coverage of original finish that has drifted to a plummy blue. Action is crisp with a strong hammer spring and properly working half cock safety. Stocks exhibit expected nicks and dings with some light wear, no major damage or abuse, never cleaned or sanded. Mag tube is tight with no wobble. Bore is excellent, a 9.0 of 10, with just minor wear and very light scattered black powder fouling, no rings or bulges, mostly bright and sharp, might clean better, should spin a bullet fine. A similar rifle in this vintage and condition recently sold at Rock Island for over 4K. Overall grades NRA Antique Fine and is a poplular, desirable, 1st year production variation to add to your Winchester collection.
