Compact, fast and a pleasure to shoot, the Winchester model 1892 Short Rifle is the perfect blend of classic design and modern craftsmanship. Featuring a straight grip stock, forearm cap, crescent buttplate and a 20 inches barrel, this lever action rifle is widely regarded as one of the smoothest, most compact and most beautifully designed lever guns ever produced. The model 1892, often referred to as "The 92," was Winchester's answer to the need for a more compact rifle chambered in pistol calibers following the success of the model 1886, which was built for larger hunting and military cartridges like the .45-75 Winchester Centerfire. Designed by the legendary John Moses Browning, the model 1892 quickly became a favorite among shooters and hunters alike. This model 92 Short Rifle maintains its legacy with a round barrel configuration that excels in brushy conditions and fast-moving game scenarios. Attention to detail is evident throughout, from the 1-piece steel crescent buttplate that stays true to the original design to the Marbles gold bead front sight, which adds a touch of traditional elegance. The rifle also features a convenient rear tang safety and for those looking to customize their shooting experience, companies like Marbles offer compatible tang sights for an added level of precision.
