B-92 production numbers

Post by 3AXBAT »

So, the Browning B-92 was made 1978 to 1987. Does anyone know how many were made?

I don't know how many but it wasn't near enough, to supply everyone with the absolutely best of the best, 92 replica ever made.

You’d think Browning would have a clue. :(

BROWNING HAS/HAD PLENTY OF CLUES THAT POINTED DIRECTLY TO A LEVERACTION '92 CARBINE THEY COULD HARDLY GIVE AWAY AT THE TIME. A PAL OF MINE WHO WORKED FOR BROWNING WAS SO GLAD WHEN THEY FINALLY MANAGED TO GET 'EM ALL SOLD.

So Terry what changed :?:

Is it just my imagination that they seem to be extremely
scarce and when found sell for a small fortune :?:

For what little it’s worth I think they were ahead of there time.

1. SASS went big time.

2. Ammo. prices are through the roof making rounds like the 38 / 357 mag.
Very appealing.

3. Some slug only areas are now allowing rifles in pistol calibers legal to
hunt with (still trying to figure that one out myself). :D

I do not know what the .357 model sold for at it's time of introduction but I once owned a 92 Centennial .44 mag. from about 1978 that had a price tag on the box of about $250.00 give or take a little (great run on sentence). $250.00 in 1978 was not inexpensive. I have a standard grade 1975 vintage Win. 94 .30-30 that sold for $122.00 new. Kinda puts things into perspective. I think Terry has made a pretty good point. I agree, the B92 is aces. 1886.

I agree 86,
Terry indeed made a great point.
Wow $ 250.00 was a hefty price in 78.
I remember paying $120.00 for a Marlin 94C new in 79
(That’s one I so wish I still had :( ).

casastahle, I certainly understand your sentiment and fondness for the B 92. I feel the very same way. They are out there and they do not seem to be as expensive as they were even a few months ago. 1886.
