This special order Winchester Model 1892 Short Takedown Rifle was manufactured circa 1914. Unfortunately this is a "no record gun" in the factory ledgers. This rifle has what appears to be a factory gold inlaid border on the sides of the receiver. The left side of the receiver features again what appears to be a factory engraved "ACL" monogram. The rifle has a special order 20-inch octagon barrel and full-length magazine. In addition to the rare combination of a takedown rifle with short barrel, this rifle has a fancy grade, highly figured walnut forearm and pistol grip stock with Style H checkering and a high polish piano finish. The pistol grip has a black hard rubber cap embossed "WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS Co." Other special order features include: double set triggers, sling swivel eyelets on the stock and forearm tip, folding combination tang sight, Winchester Express front sight with bright bead and a factory blank in the rear sight dovetail. The rifle has a blue finish on the barrel, magazine, forearm cap, receiver, bolt and crescent buttplate. The hammer and lever are color casehardened. The left barrel flat is roll-stamped: "MANUFACTURED BY THE WINCHESTER REPEATING ARMS CO./NEW HAVEN. CONN. U.S.A.PATENTED OCTOBER 14. 1884." ahead of the dovetail blank. The caliber designation "25-20 W.C.F." is roll-stamped on the left barrel flat just ahead of the receiver. The Winchester oval "W/P" proofmark is stamped on the top of the barrel and the receiver. The serial number "785355" is stamped across the bottom of the receiver just behind the takedown collar. An accompanying Cody Firearms Museum serial number research request states that "no records" were found for this rifle. Model 1892 Short Rifles are rare and are seldom found with a takedown barrel. The addition of fancy grade walnut forearm and pistol grip stock combined with the other special order features and unusual gold inlaid border and factory engraved monogram make this a one-of-a-kind rifle.
