*RARE WINCHESTER MODEL 1892 TRAPPER CARBINE WITH HIGH CONDITION. SN 982509. Cal. 44 WCF (44-40). Rare Trapper carbine with 14″ rnd bbl, full magazine, two bands and square base front sight with a rifle style semi-buckhorn rear sight. Left side of receiver has a staple & ring. Mounted with nicely figured, uncheckered, straight grain American walnut with 7-7/8″ carbine forearm & straight stock with smooth steel carbine buttplate. Accompanied by a Dept. of the Treasury, BATF letter exempting this carbine, identified by SN & bbl length, from the provisions of the National Firearms Act and declaring it a “curio & relic” and subject to Federal Regulations as an ordinary firearm. Trapper carbines found with high orig finish are a great rarity.

Mechanics are crisp, brilliant shiny bore, possibly unfired; bolt face retains about all of its orig blue. 4-44663 JR338 (15,000-20,000)
