Uberti Winchester 1892 Replicas

[jd45]

Does anyone here know if they offer one? A shootin buddy of mine says so but last time I checked their website, I didn't see one. Now they do have an 1883 Burgess replica that looks sorta, kinda like the 1892 Winchester, but it's not. I'll appreciate any feedback, Thanx, jd45

Uberti does not make a Model 1892 replica, but Chiappa Firearms does. Chiappa is from Italy also.

Has anyone here actually tried out one of the Chiappas?

Has anyone here actually tried out one of the Chiappas?

I'd be very wary given their history with the '76's.

[Booger Bill]

I goggeled chipacca and could find no 92 in their lineup.

[jd45]

For anyone interested, I just typed "chiappa replica firearms" in the Google Box & the second thing that was on the page was an 1892 Win Replica Take-down. Chiappa is somehow connected with Armi-Sport, I gather. Anyway....thanx for the help. jd45

[Booger Bill]

jd45, I stand corrected. I tried your way and found it. No prices though.

[jd45]

These things are gettin REAL pricey lately. I went to the UbertiUSA site today cause I been thinkin about a replica Colt Lightning in .45 Colt & their MSRP is $1490, (!!!)

Chiappa (Armi Sport) is sold through Cimarron, Legacy Sports (LSI as their new "Puma") and Taylor's. All three sites have detailed information including pricing. Do a search on this site and you'll find a lot of discussion on the Chiappa 92s, some good some bad, the latter including a recent (many months) frustration by one member with Taylor's and Chiappa--to mixed (and yet to be fully finaized I gather) results, both re customer service and technical. Others have had better experiences.


It does appear to be a beautifully finished firearm--with close attention (at least cosmetically) to period-correctness and, hopefully, our very own Steve Young (Nate Kiowa Jones) is having some influence on improving product--as they have asked (or he has volunteered and they accepted?) for his look-see on their new '86, wanting to get that "right" out the door. There were a few small parts NKJ had reservations about early on with the 92 (1892). Maybe his observations have already had an impact by now on new production? To date, of these three primary importers, only Cimarron and LSI are offering .44 Mag.

Later edit. Let me make it easier. www.cimarron-firearms.com www.legacysports.com. www.taylorsfirearms.com . Of these Taylors is the skimpiest of description and pictures (no carbine pics for instance). Oddly, the "trapper" version sold by Cimarron and maybe others is a "short-short rifle" (my terms) - 16", but heavy octagonal, vs the traditional round barrel short-carbine configuration. A bit odd to me but I bet some like. In addition to that and the regular carbine, rifle and takedown variants, Cimarron has a John Wayne- inspired large loop lever "El Dorado" and LSI a pricey Rifleman-commemorative.

Has anyone here actually tried out one of the Chiappas?

moodyholler and fatoldfool have had some experience with one:

Chaparal made the 76s of questionable quality. Chiappa and Chaparal are not the same folks. Might not the change the outcome, but not the same company.

here is Able Ammo's Uberti long arms list, which is pretty much unabridged.

[rodeo kid]

What about Rossi? They make a replica of the 92 and Mr Young will tune them slick as a whistle.

[jd45]

Read my Post! !!!! My question was does Uberti make a Win 1892 replica. jd45

[Bruce Scott]

The fireams currently available from Uberti are listed here: http://www.uberti.com/

They do not make a Model 92 replica.

[kaschi]

B-92 Steven told you they do NOT make one. You must have overlooked it.

[jd45]

I did not overlook it. The whole point of my asking was merely to get a clarification as to whether they do or don't for mr shootin buddy, who seems to think they do. Rodeo Kid thinks I'm looking for one....I'm not. I have two, including a Rossi. jd45

Like you wouldn't expect answers to unasked questions on the internet?

[bdhold]

grace is a really nice thing on the internet.
assumption is usually a mistake.
applying grace to someone else's assumption is always a win.
Not applying grace to someone else's assumption is usually another mistake wanting to cascade.
This is never a conversation. Nontheless, third mistake is posting something one would never say to another person's face.
(remember, these people are armed )

[RIHMFIRE]

Nope!

[jd45]

Bulldog1935, after reading your reply, I'm wondering if I'm guilty of a breach in internet etiquette. Speak plainly, if you will. jd45

[bdhold]

it's nothing personal. I did my best to answer your question.
My point is its best not to take people to task, whenever it can be avoided.
On every bulletin board I've ever read, people like to ramble a bit, may not read what others wrote and may think they're being helpful when the information they added may not be what was sought.
I've run across people before who have wanted the perfect thread and when two others were discussing something else on their thread, blew up at them and made enemies, even to the point of sending foul pms.
I don't believe you did that.
Me, most of it don't skin my teeth. And I'm probably the worst about rambling. I don't talk much, but I do like to write, take pictures and stick them on the board. I got a lot of fish stories from a lifetime of fishing. Bottom line, there are too many things in life that do matter to worry about the internet.

[jd45]

OK, I'm not adverse to apologizing when called for......................rodeo kid, I didn't mean to rub you the wrong way. Hey, I just thought of somethin...........IF I rub you the RIGHT way, will you call UbertiUSA & persuade them to start makin 1892 Win replicas? Just kiddin, jd45

[bdhold]

thanks friend, I'm proud of you.

[olyinaz]

I really do wish Uberti would get in the '92 game but even better would be some Winchesters that are made in the U.S.A. and not $1000+
