This 38-40 has been my deer rifle this year. Managed to find it at a gunshop here in Maine. Most of the guns up my way are Eastern Carbines, so it was a little unusual to find a SRC. I pulled the tang sight off after I snapped the pics. Really didn't need it on my gun, but it is the way it came...
Seems to be quite a few decent 92's up my way ~ mostly in 25-20 and 32-20. I've managed to picked up a few this year.
VERY NICE!! If you happen to find any that you do not want, especially 1886s, please forward any information to me.

I prefer the carbines without rings. Those that I've aquired have either had them removed before I got them, or I removed them.

Isnt it amazing how many people post without reading the thread?
+1 SRC freak. Love the rings--about 90% (+) of the carbines were originally equipped that way. Just don't seem right without! Clack doesn't bother me or the ring wear either (adds character!). If it bothers you, tie a short leather strip on it. A lot more '94 "eastern carbines" were made than similar '92s, but still even they were the minority pre 1930s. Nice '92 find in your neck 'o. .
OK gizamo, I'm in Maine too, the only '92s I seem to be able to find look like a rusty, bent crowbar with a piece of pallet wood lashed to them, and they are selling for $1k plus. What part of the state are you in??

Same place these 92's came from this since the Summer...
