Description:

Manufactured in 1921. Relatively few Model 1892 rifles were chambered for the .25-20 W.F.C. cartridge, and takedown Model 92 rifles are scarce. The rifle has a 24-inch round barrel and full length magazine. The barrel has the standard pattern fixed blade front sight with patent markings and set screw on the left side of the base and a sporting style rear sight with flat top. The upper receiver tang is factory drilled and tapped for a folding combination sight. The rifle has a full blue finish. With a smooth walnut forearm and straight grip stock. The left side of the barrel is roll-stamped with the address and patent date in two lines ahead of the rear sight. The caliber: "25-20 W.F.C." is roll-stamped on the left side of the barrel. Winchester oval "W/P" proof marks are stamped on the top of the barrel and the receiver. The upper receiver tang is roll-stamped: "MODEL 92/-WINCHESTER-/TRADE MARK REG. U.S. PAT. OFF. & FGN." in three lines.

Rating Definition:

Excellent. The rifle retains 90% of the original blue finish overall. The barrel has some cold blue on the left side near the muzzle and shows minimal wear. The barrel band has some finish loss but retains about 75% of the blue. The adjacent portions of the magazine tube have light takedown scuff marks. The receiver has about 95% of the original blue finish with a few minor handling marks and insignificant scratches. The bolt and loading gate retain nearly all of the original blue finish. The bottom and sides of the lever show light handling wear with traces of plum brown patina. The buttplate has light edge wear and age spotting and retains about 85% of the original blue finish. The markings are crisp. The wood is very good overall and has most of the original oil finish. Wear is limited to some finish loss on the forearm and a few scattered and relatively minor handling marks. This is an excellent example of a scarce Winchester Model 92 takedown rifle chambered for the .25-20 W.C.F. cartridge.
