Winchester model 1892 (or 92) 3rd year production

This winchesters serial date puts it to 1894 so it is quite an early rifle.

At some point, a very competent gunsmith rechambered this from the .38-40 cartridge to .38 special/ .357 magnum. I have fired both from this rifle and it is great on the range.

Along with his rechambering, the gunsmith presumably refinished it in a very nice and strong blue. This bluing is only fading ever so slightly on the lever itself, with minor wear on the loading gate and then very few marks exist on the barrel. None of the markings are faded or shallow. The winchester script and patents that are found on the top of the barrel are still very crisp. If it wasnt as old as it is, I would believe you if you told me it was the original finish. I believe it must be a refinish due to how pristine it is. Overall metal condition is very high in my opinion, see pictures to judge for yourself.

The wood is also excellent. It must have been redone whenever the other work was done on it and it looks great.

Mechanically, this firearm is excellent. I have fired .38s and .357s that ran well. There appears to be a newer mainspring which is likely why she still runs so well and is so crisp. Every other part seems original but I have not done a complete teardown.

The bore is excellent. Very strong and deep rifling throughout the bore. I attempted to get a picture of this but the lighting doesnt do it justice.

Overall, this firearm is a fantastic shooter that has wowed everyone I have shown it to. It makes a fantastic range piece while still carrying the weight of being a historic firearm.

Thank you for looking, texting me works best but a bisman message is okay too. I am not really looking for a trade unless you have a Colt New service in .45 Colt, or a Colt Trooper (pre mark iii) in .357. Otherwise I am looking for cash, thanks!
