*RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 92 TRAPPER SADDLE RING CARBINE. SN 985149. Cal. 25-20. Standard grade trapper carbine with rare 15″ bbl, full magazine, square base front sight and 2,000 yard carbine ladder rear sight. Left side of receiver has a staple & ring. Mounted with uncheckered, straight grain, gum wood stock & 7-7/8″ carbine forearm with straight grip & carbine buttplate. Few trapper carbines survive today with high orig finish as the majority of them were sold and used in Mexico & South America where they saw continuous use under harsh conditions with little or no maintenance. The majority of trapper carbines returning to the U.S. show this hard use so to find one with orig finish is a rarity. Accompanied by an NFA exemption letter. PROVENANCE: Wes Adams Estate Collection. CONDITION: Fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain about 95% strong orig blue with some fine surface rust on magazine tube; receiver retains 90-92% orig blue with the loss areas mostly from flaking, not wear, showing sharp edge wear; lever & hammer retain strong orig blue mixed with flaking. Stock has a hairline on the right side of wrist with a series of moderate dings & scratches around wrist and a few gouges in forearm and overall retains strong orig factory finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, shows very little use, just moderate abuse. 4-44665 JR56 (8,000-12,000)
