BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM WINCHESTER M-1892, NEW HALF OCTAGON BARREL IN .256 WIN. MAG.

Description:
BEAUTIFUL CUSTOM WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 WITH NEW HALF OCTAGON BARREL IN .256 WIN. MAG. CALIBER. (The .256 Win. Mag. case is simply the .357 magnum necked to take standard .257" bullets. Cases are easily formed.) The receiver on this rifle is in the 1005XXX range showing a production date of 1940. So, this was either one of the last Model ‘92s or a Model 53. the action retains nearly all the original Winchester blue aside from some very minor thinning on the bottom and a very little flaking on the bottom of the lever. Screws are excellent and the Winchester proof mark on the receiver ring is sharp and clear. The 24” half octagon barrel with half magazine is unmarked and there is no rear sight dovetail. The receiver is fitted with a Marble tang sight paired with a Marble “Sheard” marked blade/long brass front sight. The barrel and forend cap retain all the deep blue. Crescent butt stock shows very tight wood to metal fit, is in excellent condition and is fitted with a steel case colored crescent butt plate. Similarly, the forend is excellent. Action is tight, safety half-cock is strong and the bore is minty bright. The “cool factor” on this one is off the charts and has the appearance of a brand new special order ‘92 made by Winchester.
