Length of Pull Questions

[rwt]

I have been looking for a Winchester or Browning 92 carbine. At this point, I am not a Rossi fan from an esthetics perspective.

I am only finding short rifles with the crescent butt plate. I don't even know if the Browning B-92 came in a carbine style.

My uninformed thinking has been that it will be far, far better to put a recoil pad on a carbine model. It seems that too much wood would need to be cut off a short rifle butt to eliminate the cutouts at the top and bottom for the wraparound butt plate. A really short butt stock would result and the addition of a one-inch pad would not compensate enough nearly enough to get a lengthened LOP. My LOP with my SXS shotguns is 14 1/2 to a single trigger.

I think the one-inch pad would be desirable in either 45 Colt or 44 Magnum to reduce felt recoil. A thicker pad or spacers would just not look right I'm guessing.

Should I just keep looking for a carbine model and forget about short rifles?

Since traditional appearance is not a consideration, consider a steel Henry.
It already comes with a recoil pad.

This recoil pad fit a 'carbine' stock [it was on a Rossi, but I think the shape/inletting is about the same as the Winchester] with minimal alteration (the inletting and curve of the buttstock were very close matches).

That might be the most streamlined approach.
Here's the shape comparison:

Of course there are various rubber slip-on ones, and leather lace-on ones out there as well...and they can be removed if you change your mind, and/or used on other guns.

Thank you.

Marlin 1894's are also a consideration.

Does anyone know if Browning ever produced the B-92 in a carbine?

Yes they did. There is a 44 mag for sale right now on GB. Ends in about 22 hours.
Not mine nor any sticks in that fire.

FWIW, Browning never made the B-92 as a "Short Rifle", only as a 20" Carbine........ with a Carbine buttplate.





The "carbine" roll-top buttplate is flat, and feels nothing like a crescent BP under recoil - of which there isn't very much in ANY Browning B-92 chambering.

Marlin 1894's are nice as well.

The other thought if you could be ok with a Rossi is their 454 Casull model. Has the recoil pad built-in, and you can always shoot less-than-hot loads in it (or 45 Colt cowboy loads for that matter).

Thanks! Never heard that one before. I've heard several expressions that mean the same thing, but never that one.
