*WINCHESTER MODEL 92 SADDLE RING CARBINE.

SN 993307. Cal 44 WCF (44-40). Standard carbine with 20″ bbl, full magazine, square base front sight with blued steel blade and standard 2000 yard carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of receiver has a staple & ring. Mounted with very nicely figured, uncheckered American walnut with straight stock and carbine buttplate. This late carbine has the last style bbl marking and top tang marking with blued lever, hammer and buttplate. This carbine was produced in about 1928 in an era where real cowboys still rode the range with a carbine in the saddle scabbard and the Model 92 carbines were still very popular at that time. Those carbines are rarely found today with high orig finish. CONDITION: Very fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain about 98% crisp orig factory blue. Receiver retains 88-90% bright orig blue with sharp edge & high point wear with some light scratches and a halo from the saddle ring. Lever & hammer retain most of their orig blue and the buttplate about 50% thinning blue. Forearm has a scratch on the left side at the barrel band which is commonly seen on these rifles, otherwise wood is sound and retains virtually all its original factory old finish. Forearm may have had a light coating of finish applied. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, shows very little use. 51762-4 JRL (5,000-8,000) C&R – Lot 1087
