*VERY RARE SEMI-DELUXE WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 SADDLE RING CARBINE.

SN 559314. Cal. .44 WCF (44-40). Late carbine with 20″ bbl, full magazine and square base front sight with 3-leaf express rear sight & a Lyman locking combination tang sight. Left side of receiver has a staple & ring. Mounted with very nicely figured, straight grain American walnut with I-style checkered forearm and capped pistol grip stock that has Winchester trademark embossed hard rubber buttplate and hard rubber grip cap. Left side of lower tang, under the wood, is marked with the assembly number “8781” and “R”. The R indicates rubber buttplate. Matching assembly number is also found in top tang channel of buttstock. Model 1892 carbines are not especially rare but any one of them with a special order feature, such as found here, is exceedingly rare. This rifle was produced in about 1910 when most of the country’s business was still being conducted from the back of a horse, buggy or wagon. Firearms of that era usually saw very hard service and are rarely found today with any orig finish. Special order items, such as this, are almost never encountered. CONDITION: About fine. Bbl & magazine tube retain 96-98% strong orig blue with the front band retaining about 70% orig blue and the middle band a grey metal patina. Receiver retains about 20% orig blue mixed with flaking with most of the losses from flaking and are now a medium patina with bottom & top edges mostly worn to a silver patina. Stock has hairline crack in the toe, otherwise wood is sound showing moderate wear to checkering with a few light nicks & scratches and retains about 95-96% orig varnish on stock and about 75% on forearm, dull at the receiver. Mechanics are crisp, very bright shiny bore with a few scattered spots of light pitting. 4-54773 JR258 (7,500-12,500) – Lot 1236
