The 92 on the Dillon Blue Press issue in doc’s Dillon post has a ramp front sight. Never seen one before. Rebarrel?

For the Winchester 1892 the "3-C" front sight ramp was special order until it became standard after 1931 (post serial # one million). But they are rare due to old style barrels still in stock being used up and slow sales during the depression.

Information pulled from page 379 of "The Winchester Book" by George Madis.


Also, god bless those country girls (or models just pretending to be one)!

Nope, looks to be twenty something. I think her slimness has confused a few.

That's a good question. The receiver contours say "Rossi", and the magazine tube diameter says ".357 MAG". But the front sight isn't where I'm used to seeing Rossi place their front sights. When they're not part of the barrel band, they're usually behind it. Any other guesses?

That is what Mrs. YK said. She normally doesn't mind the cover models, but she was none too happy about that one. :shock:

Engage the brain folks. Dillion is not going to use an underage girl as their cover model.

Cool. I’m waiting to hear back from Mike at Dillon. It’s Kimmie’s dad’s gun and Mike thinks he got it to go with that engraved single action Colt in 32-20
