SCARCE ANTIQUE SPECIAL ORDER WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 CARBINE.

SN 44221. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Standard grade carbine with 20″ bbl, full magazine, square base German silver front sight & 900 yard carbine ladder rear sight. Receiver is special order without staple & ring. Mounted with uncheckered straight grain American walnut with straight stock & carbine buttplate. This is an unusual carbine in that the staple & ring were standard on carbines and had to be special ordered without them. Obviously Winchester just used a rifle receiver with carbine parts. Very likely this carbine was ordered by a hunter who didn’t want the noisy saddle ring on his hunting gun but did want a short handy rifle for short range hunting. PROVENANCE: Tommy Rholes Estate Collection. CONDITION: About fine. Bbl retains strong blue in sheltered areas turning plum over most of the bbl; magazine tube retains about 95% finish with some area turning plum; receiver retains 10-15% orig blue with the balance worn to a silver brown patina; lever & hammer retain strong case colors, faded and turning dark on outer faces of lever; buttstock has a gouge in the left wrist with a series of moderate dings, scratches & a bruise and retains about 85% orig finish; forearm, possibly an old replacement, shows a hand worn patina. Mechanics are crisp; bright shiny bore. 4-50578 JR310 (2,000-3,000) – Lot 1067
