*EXTREMELY RARE SPECIAL ORDER SEMI-DELUXE SMOOTH BORE WINCHESTER MODEL 92 CARBINE. SN 992168. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Extremely unusual carbine with 20″ rnd, smooth-bore bbl, full mag with square base carbine front sight and carbine ladder rear sight. It is mounted with very nicely figured, straight grain, uncheckered American walnut with capped pistol grip stock and crescent rifle buttplate. Receiver and buttplate are nickel plated. Undoubtedly this carbine was built especially for a wild west showman or woman. This carbine appears to have been built in 1928 but it has a case colored lever with blued hammer. CONDITION: Extremely fine. The bbl and mag tube retain 97-98% strong orig blue and bbl bands about 95% strong orig blue, stronger on the forearm band. The receiver and buttplate retain virtually all of strong orig factory nickel with light freckling on the receiver and one small spot of wear by the hammer. The lever retains 75-80% bright case colors on the sides, mostly turned silver on the outer face. The hammer retains most of its orig factory blue. The stock has a hairline by the top tang, otherwise wood is sound with minor handling and use marks and retains most of its orig varnish. Mechanics are crisp, bright shiny bore with very minor roughness. A truly rare and desirable Winchester. 4-36202 JR85 (15,000-20,000)
