Description:
LATE PRODUCTION VERY FINE 1892 .44-40 SADDLE RING CARBINE, #979XXX, MADE 1929. Most of these late guns were in small calibers with the .44-40 scarce. Production was also very small as the updated Model 53 was replacing the Model 1892 rifles and carbines. In 1927 there were almost 19,000 1892s made. In 1929 only 2,720 were made and by 1930 production dropped to only 491! Winchester lever guns made during this time used a different case hardening process on the receivers that caused the blue to flake to silver rapidly. Typically, the blue turns to a plum color, then brown, then flakes to silver. This example, made the year of the Great Stock Market Crash, shows fine receiver blue that is mixing with plum. There is some brown on the edges and receiver bottom with a good portion of brighter blue in the more protected areas and on the bolt. Importantly, there is almost no flaking to silver. The barrel and magazine retain deep blue with excellent correct late style markings and the correct carbine ladder rear sight with slide intact. Walnut stock and forend are excellent with only the most minor of handling. Tight action, strong safety half-cock and bright bore with any corrosion very surface and scattered. Overall a really rare and fine condition 97 year old ‘92 saddle ring carbine in the most desirable caliber.
