A brush-polished blue finish sets this 1892 apart from the typical glossy bluing, giving it a softer sheen that hides scuffs. The carbine is chambered in .357 Magnum, wears a 20-inch barrel, and has a Large Loop lever.

Winchester's 1892 is a slim lever gun that dates back to the days when ranchers wanted a rifle that shared the revolver's cartridge. This version keeps that spirit. It also accepts .38 Special, so you can shoot mild loads at a match and step up to magnum rounds for field work.

The Large Loop lever gives gloved fingers room, and it also looks a bit like the rifles seen in the movies. The carbine length is quick in the hands, easy to handle on a horse or in a truck, and not bothersome in the brush.

Hunters can use it for coyotes and hogs, and for deer where the law allows. Keep the action oiled, wipe the barrel after wet days, and store it dry. The carbine ships to your FFL dealer, and the background check is completed there before you take it home.
