This virtually unused, early turn-of-the century Winchester Model 1892 rifle was manufactured in 1903. This rifle has a 24-inch full octagon barrel in very desirable 44-40 caliber with full length magazine. The barrel has a sporting style front sight with nickel-silver blade and a sporting style, buckhorn, rear sight with screw adjustable center-piece and serrated edges. The stock and forearm are straight grain American walnut. The rifle barrel, magazine, forearm cap, receiver, trigger and bolt have the Winchester commercial blue finish. The loading gate is fire blue. The hammer, lever and crescent buttplate are color casehardened. The top barrel flat is roll-stamped: "MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO./NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A. PATENTED OCTOBER 14. 1884." in two lines ahead of the rear sight. The caliber "44 W.C.F." is stamped on the top barrel flat between the rear sight and the receiver. The upper receiver tang is roll stamped: "MODEL 1892/-WINCHESTER-/TRADE MARK" in three lines. The serial number "274049" is roll-stamped across the underside of the receiver just behind the forearm.
