Fine Winchester Model 92 Trapper Lever Action Carbine in .44-40 with Highly Desirable 16 Inch Barrel

Manufactured c. 1921-1928 and features a very desirable trapper/baby carbine length 16 1/4 inch barrel (legal length, so no need for ATF exemption!). Winchester called these "Special Short Carbines" back then. These were never a cataloged option and were discontinued in 1933 leaving only a limited number available. While they were in production, they were reportedly popular with law enforcement agencies like Winchester's standard length carbines in the early 20th century, and some are known to have been sent to South America making surviving examples rare and valuable collectible firearms. It features a modified pinned blade front sight, an adjustable folding rear carbine sight, saddle ring on the left, and smooth carbine stock and forearm. The left side of the barrel has the model, trademark, and caliber markings. Winchester factory oval proof is stamped on the frame and barrel at the breech. The upper tang has the three-line model/trademark marking.

ConditionFine, retaining 60% original blue finish with a smooth brown patina overall, typical of a cared-for working gun. 60% original niter blue remains on the loading gate. The wood is also fine with a slight chip at the upper tang and some minor handling marks. Mechanically excellent.
