Re: General 92 questions

I've heard so many incongruous stories involving Rossi, Puma, Chiappa, LSI, Braztec, Taurus that it's become a nightmarish kaleidoscope of confusion. Every anecdotal "source" has its own version of the interactions among the above players & the chronology..........none of which happen...

Re: General 92 questions

This is only one man’s opinion but I have been working the 92's for the last 20 years so take it for whatever you think it's worth. Over the years there has been several makers beside Winchester that have made 92’s. In the 1930's there was a Spanish copy known as the El Tigre. These were used a lot...

Re: General 92 questions

Thanks. I found that Cimarron makes 92 takedowns and I have been quite pleased with my Cimarron 1860 Steel framed so I would probably go with them.

Re: New 1895 Guide Gun

Re: New 1895 Guide Gun

Hi, just got this new guide gun 45-70 and am working the bugs out of it, smoothed the action up and waiting on a higher rear sight from Marlin as it shot low.

Re: A rose by any other name

The Browning 92s as show in the pics on this thread are a beautiful rifle but unfortunately are no longer made. The commercial agglomeration that now calls itself Winchester Repeating Arms now markets imperfect clones of the original legacy lever action rifles including the 1886, 1892 & 1894 fo...
