Dirt Farmer, SASS #59817 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I'm offering this 1910 vintage Winchester 1892 in 38-40 Bore is shiney with light pitting. It was tuned up for CAS by Steve Jones, '92 specialist, at Steve's Gunz. This rifle is tight and it's SLICK.... Trigger is great. It's the slickest '92 I've ever handled. It has a white Marble front bead, semi buckhorn facory original rear. It's ready to go, would be a great BP gun or would hold it's own in regular categories. WIth these loads, it actually out shot a new Marlin Cowboy .45 Colt, shot tighter groups. Wood is solid with no cracks. It has a shotgun style butt stock with checkered metal butt plate. I'm estimating it to be around NRA Antique 40%. 39th Blue Book lists these at $925 plus 25% for 38-40. I'm asking $1,,150 shipped to your FFL I'm also throwning in a set of RCBS Cowboy 38-40 dies plus a Lee Factory Crimp die and 3 RCBS shell holders. Two boxes of ammo, one with 100 rnds of 180 gr. Meister RN bullets over 5 gr. Titegroup The other box, rear 47 as above, front 36, 180 gr. Valiant RN over 4.7 clays. All with Starline brass and Winchester primers. These can be pulled down and components used or shot as is. Some folks don't like to shoot reloads, I understand. But the components are there. The ammo and dies will ship to your location, UPS. The gun, USPS to your FFL. DF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Mark Flint #31954 LIFE Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Having owned and sold a similar gun sometime back, and considering the value of the dies and ammo-$1150.00 would seem like a better than average price. If cash flow was better, I would have been very interested in this gun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirt Farmer, SASS #59817 Posted October 1, 2020 Author Share Posted October 1, 2020 Thanks, Mark. One pard just asked if I would sell just the rifle. I told him I'd knock off $75 for ammo and dies, sell just the rifle for $1,075, shipped to his FFL. DF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warden Callaway Posted October 2, 2020 Share Posted October 2, 2020 It was a good price. I had as much in an original in 32WCF that wasn't as nice of condition. The redeeming feature was it had been a 25-20 but had been rerifled to 32WCF. The bore is perfect. But that ment it wasn't the original caliber. I was at the unloading table as two guys were talking about there stock Rossi 92s and problems they were having. I invited them to cycle this old gun. They were amazed at how smooth it was.

Dirt Farmer, SASS #59817 Posted October 3, 2020 Author Share Posted October 3, 2020 They tend to get pretty slick after a hundred years or more. I was amazed how accurate those old guns can be DF Ebay seller son putting dies on his online store. Ammo is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt Farmer, SASS #59817 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 J. B. gets the ammo, shipped today UPS. Rifle leaves my FFL, headed for his FFL, FedEx tomorrow. I didn’t realize that an antique long gun had to go FFL to FFL, LA to PA. But evidently so. That was the word from his FFL and I’d think he would know. My son put the dies on eBay this week, asking more than I’d pay. But he seems to get more than I’d pay for most items. Thanks everyone for your interest.

Dirt Farmer, SASS #59817 Posted October 10, 2020 Author Share Posted October 10, 2020 Thanks to Hurricane Delta, FedEx was closed Friday, gun leaves for PA on Monday. Looking forward to JB's report. He already has some slick '92's, worked on by a guy in VA. He's wanting to compare Steve Jones' work with what that guy. did Steve is our local '92 guru, don't know about the VA guy. The gun was already slick when Steve got it, just wanted him to tune it, do whatever he thought it may need. DF Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
