*RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 TRAPPER SADDLE RING CARBINE.

*RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 TRAPPER SADDLE RING CARBINE. SN 844640. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Standard grade carbine with rare 16″ 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 very nicely figured, uncheckered American walnut with straight stock and carbine buttplate. It is unknown how many trapper carbines were produced but what is known is that they are rarely found with high orig finish. A large majority of these short carbines were sold on the South American market where they saw harsh & continuous service, even to today, under extreme conditions, usually with little or no maintenance. CONDITION: Fine. Bbl retains about 97-98% strong orig blue and the magazine tube about the same, turned a little dull with some very fine surface freckling; receiver retains about 95% orig blue showing sharp edge wear, a few nicks & scratches and dulling on the bottom; lever & hammer retain most of their strong orig blue; buttplate retains about 85% blue/brown patina from flaking, not wear. Buttstock has a very few light nicks & scratches and retains most of a factory finish; forearm is sound and retains about all of a smooth refinish; bbl bands retain about all of a restored finish. Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, shows very little use; bolt face retains just about all of its orig blue. 4-47069 (6,000-9,000)
