Winchester 92 came home with me

[win40-82]

Went to gunshow Sunday in Colby Ks. They had a good number of good to very good lever guns. Found this little 92 in 32-20 takedown for a very reasonable price so sprung for it. Finish has a lot brown in it when out in bright sunlit, the bore rates an 8 and the wood is very good. Hope I can get the picture posted. I also found another lever gun about 3 weeks ago, a Winchester Low Wall also in 32-20. It has a great bore and wood. Metal is very good with some case coloring left.

Nice. You scored a couple good ones. Should be fun shooters.
Nothing beats that new gun smell.......except the next one.

I've never had much of a hankering for a .32-20 -- but you know, I'd be sorely tempted by those two old gals, myself. Nice.

Hello Win40-82,

I have been working on a research survey of the 1892's for almost 7 years now and have cataloged just over 11,100 individual rifles. Could I please get the serial number of your rifle so that I can add it into my data? If you will send me a series of photos I will be happy to answer any questions you might have. You can read more, and get my email address at this link: https://winchestercollector.org/forum/w ... le-survey/

thanks
Michael

Michael, sent a private message with serial number.

Thanks for the PM with the SN. But I have maybe some bad news for you. I have that rifle listed in my survey as having been sold out of Carr Suctions in December 2016, Lot #67. BUT is was a 25-20 WCF caliber gun back then. Are you certain of the caliber and can you post/send me photos of the areas of stamped writing on the barrel?

I really like the cartridge - I just wish I had more time to mess with it - lots of potential fun in the older guns, and in the Marlin 1894-CL version, 30 Carbine level ballistics.

I have a 1917 model 1892 in 32wcf, it is a rifle and still more accurate with my handloads than I can shoot. I got it from an uncle back in the 1950's.

Had an uncle named Matthew
Was his father's only boy
Born just south of Colby, Kansas
He was his mothers pride and joy.
