A close copy of the Winchester Model 1892 Lever Action rifle, the B-92 was introduced in 1978 as a limited edition B-92 Centennial in .44 Mag. caliber only. The standard B-92 was introduced in 1979 in .44 Magnum. The 357 Mag. was introduced in 1982. The B-92 was discontinued in 1987.

There are of course the Italian 1892 clones. The Puma from Brazil, etc. The Spaniards even got out a 92 clone for a bit if I remember right.

I bought a 1892 (circa 1913) in 38-40 this past June for $400.00.Good bore but a little surface rust on metal.Cleaned her up and she looks good now.You can find them out there for less than what cabela's wants but i had to do some serious digging.

I agree with Swifty. If I were you I'd wait on an old original 1892...they`re out there, sometimes it just takes a little time and patience. You`ll find what you`re looking for in your price range. More fun shooting one of the old levers in my opinion too...can't beat it!

...... wait on an old original 1892...they`re out there, sometimes it just takes a little time and patience.

Or good old fashioned luck!
This one was found behind the door of a closet in an old house we bought from an estate years ago. Actually, the value of all the antiques and collectables that came with the house were worth more than the structure itself

Very nice 92. But, I have to tell you, I think it'd look better sitting next to mine
Seriously though, nice find. Gotta like those kind of little surprises! Wish I had that kind of luck....or, any luck at all really....

Hey canuck, bet Kevin303 hates two people now Nice rifle!

 

[carew]

That 92 looks good. The luck of some people

Keep looking, they are out there.
My 1892 came my way with a straight trade. For a 16 gauge black powder shotgun.

What you got to trade Laminate St. or synthetic might do, in stainless.You never know what might catch my eye.Was saveing this one for a trader at the show this summer .But $$$ is KING DAN>>>
