Classic carbine configuration of the Model 1892 with barrel band, strap buttplate, saddle ring and straight grip walnut stock. Drilled/tapped for an optional receiver mounted peep sight. The perfect lever action of all time. It is considered by many as the smoothest, most compact, handiest and most beautiful lever action ever offered by Winchester.
The Model 1892 (or "The 92" as most of us call it) was Winchester's follow-up to the amazing Model 1886. The 86 was designed for large hunting/military calibers of the 1800s, like 45-70. Soon after its development, the call went out for a new (but more compact) lever rifle suitable for pistol calibers. Soon John Moses Browning produced the Model 1892 prototype for Winchester — and the rest is history.
This Model 92 Carbine is in a classic round barrel configuration in classic and modern calibers, suitable for pursuits ranging from Cowboy Action to hunting small, medium, and even big game in heavy brush. Attention to detail is something you will notice like the carbine strap buttplate and barrel band just like the originals, and a Marbles gold bead front sight that adds a dose of traditional class. This rifle features a convenient rear tang safety — but don't despair, companies (like Marble's) offers one made to fit should you desire to add a tang sight later.
