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.
