It is a new Miroku with an octagon barrel. I think the series was manufactured in 2017.

Most of my research on getting started with lever guns and hand-loading for them has come from this site. There has been a lot of learning, trial and error to say the least. I will spare you all from my foibles, so here is some more information for the archives. Winchester 1892 .44 Remington Magnum ...

Thanks all.

To answer my location - I am in Bothell, Washington.

I also am planning on doing a lot of hand loading, which is new to me. These forums have been a great help in gather what limited supplies I can.

Howdy folks - New member here. Picked up a Winchester 1892 Octagon Deluxe in .44 magnum and it is shipping out tomorrow.

Looking forward to tapping into this pool of knowledge.
