Lets get a some lever action #### going

Yes its a new Winchester 92 in 357 never been shot, its a 2011 Shot Show special, my brother bought it brand new and he's not a 357 guy, he collects 44 mag Winchesters
It took me a few years to talk him out of it.
It goes with my other rare one, Winchester 92, 24" oct barrel case hardened in 357, never been shot

My latest one, Model 92 Trapper in 357 Mag

Nice one...I wish my Rossi had the forend cap rather than the barrel band. No worries though because my
.44 magnum Trapper shoots fine as is. Boyd's stocks work well for me.:)

The for end cap makes it very unique, the other trappers I have just have the barrel band
Here is a pair of 1966 Centennials, I have the boxes,hang tags,mauals etc. for both. 24 & 26 inch octagon barrels.
 
Here we go, my new favorite gun.....
After a years wait I finally got my special order Winchester 73, Case hardened
I have to say it's probably the nicest gun I've ever bought and was well worth the wait.....




 
neither have been fired yet, I ordered the 73 just over a year ago,and bought the 92 in March, gonna fire at least one of them soon.
Here is the 44 mag and 357 Trapper Model 92's, from 2011 Shot show
 
Not having posted anything for a while I thought I would share this carbine with you folks. This is a Winchester that is often overlooked even by the most seasoned collectors of Winchesters. It has been called the Model 94/95 variant carbine. The barrels on these carbines were produced by the factory from left over Model 1895 barrels in .30-03 and .30-06 Muskets in and around 1927 and 1928 when the 1895 Musket was discontinued. In Robert Renneberg's book Winchesters Model94 The First 100 Years he states that only 13 20" barrel carbines using the model 95 barrels had been discovered at the time of his writing the book and only 2 of these have the ramped pined sight.
This Carbine that I have has been examined and authenticated by myself and a Winchester Collector who is doing a study on these hybrids. This carbine had not been documented before this time. There are now 12 -20" Carbines with the pined front sight in the survey. The survey has a total of 51 Carbines of the 94/95 variant documented, some with 22" barrels with the 2 different front sight configurations. These guns are all in the 30WCF caliber with a 1 in 10 twist.
These are a very interesting gun and add another piece to the puzzle of Winchester collecting.





This photo shows the plugged hole in front of the rear sight is where the original rear musket sight was attached


This photo shows ramped pined front sight that was standard on the Model 95


 
Real interesting carbine, Brian. Nice photography as well.

Very nice Brian. First I have seen up here. I tell you, your photo taking abilities are pretty darn good. I always look forward to your posts on this thread.

Here is another Winchester Model 1894. This one is a Take Down in the 30WCF caliber. The rifle has the 1/2 magazine with round 26" barrel. This is a 100% original rifle with all the correct sights, still retains original finish on the stocks and has the fluted butt stock which is correct for the year of this rifle, 1920. The gun also has the rare smooth steel butt plate that is not often found on these late rifles. The unique feature of this rifle is the barrel has the 1920 date stamp on the barrel and is the earliest date stamp recorded so far in the Model 1894 surveys. Previous to this gun 1924 was the earliest date recorded and was always thought to be the year that Winchester started marking the dates on their barrels. As I mentioned in an earlier post another piece to the Winchester Collecting puzzle discovered.

Note: Should any of the CGN members have a model 1894 with a lower date on the barrel, please let me know so it can be recorded.




In this photo you can see the date stamp 20 in under the take down ring.
