Winchester Model 1892 Takedown Lever Action Rifle

Manufactured in 1907. Dovetail blade front sight, elevation adjustable semi buckhorn rear sight. The top barrel flat is marked with the two line address/patent date ahead of the rear sight and "32 W.C.F." at the breech. The Winchester proof is marked ahead of the caliber marking and on top of the receiver at the breech. The upper tang is marked "MODEL 1892/WINCHESTER/TRADE MARK". Smooth forearm with a steel forend cap and straight grip stock with a crescent buttplate.

ConditionVery good as modified (shortened barrel). The carbine retains 20% original blue finish with a smooth brown and plum patina on the balance. The wood has been freshened with a coat of varnish and remains very good with a small moderate dent on the left rear of the forearm, and overall a few minor dings and handling marks. The magazine spring and follower are absent, otherwise mechanically fine. The markings are clear.
