Solomon Kane 18264 Posted March 2, 2022 Share Posted March 2, 2022 Up for sale is an original 1892 Winchester in 44-40 (44wcf) caliber. This rifle has an 24 inch octagon barrel, and as you can see, it has been over a few trails. Maybe it took part in the Yaqui uprising, maybe it went to the Yukon? Only it can say. The Cody Museum factory letter states that this particular rifle was made on May 2, 1895 in its current configuration, save the rear sight, which is a Marbles Sight. I do not believe the checkering on the forearm and the stock are factory, but that simply adds to the story of this rifle. The bore is somewhat dark but the rifling is still there, and it shoots as you would expect a 127-year-old rifle to shoot. Everything still functions as it should, the magazine loads fully and works just fine, the lever and action are extremely smooth and functional, and it fires and ejects as required. Accuracy is about what you would come to expect. After considerable research, I have determined the value of this rifle in this condition, age, and functionality to be $2200 shipped. (Money order or certified check) I can ship direct to your home, as this rifle was born before 1899. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
