Product Overview
This secondhandWinchester 1892 44-40 Lever Action Rifle is in a Good overall used condition for its age. May have some cosmetic usage imperfections.
When asked by Winchester to design an improved lever action to compete with a recent Marlin offering, John Browning said he would have the prototype completed in under a month or it would be free. Within two weeks, Browning had a functioning prototype of the '92. Calibers for the rifle vary and some are custom-chambered. The original rounds were the .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40 Winchester centerfire rounds, followed in 1895 by the new .25-20. A few Model '92s chambered for .218 Bee were produced in 1936–38. Rifles in .44-40 proved to be most popular, far outstripping sales of the other chamberings.
This Particular Rifle was built in 1902 and is a great example of an iconic piece of winchester history for someone looking to add to their collection.
