WINCHESTER Model 1892 Short Rifle .44 Magnum

Currently sold out.

The Winchester Model 1892 Short Rifle is a reproduction of probably the most popular lever-action rifle from the American traditional company. Agile, slim, and compact, it has not achieved the iconic status of its "Wild West" predecessors but has significantly higher production numbers during the original manufacturing period. The robust system is excellently suited for modern nitro powder cartridges and is therefore copied by many manufacturers - well-known are Brazilian and Italian copies - but the original Winchesters are now manufactured in Japan by Mirokou: a guarantee of the best quality and fit.

The Model 1892 "Short Rifle" is a classically designed lever-action rifle with a muzzle-length magazine and a straight stock, known as the "English stock" without a pistol grip. The blued finish and oiled walnut wood convey the classic look, while details such as the brass bead front sight and one-piece steel butt plate indicate the high quality of the firearm. A modern touch is the safety on the wrist, which integrates into the traditional form. Also on the wrist are the prepared holes for an optional diopter sight.

Please note: Firing .38 Special is NOT recommended! Technically it is possible, however, it can lead to increased feeding issues and contamination in the chamber, which can cause problems when firing .357 Magnum.

The history of Winchester dates back to 1848. Clothing manufacturer Oliver Winchester was one of the main shareholders of Smith & Wesson, or at that time involved in the Volcanic Repeating Arms Company. After moderate success of the volcanic rifle, S&W withdrew, and with Benjamin Henry, new momentum came to the newly founded New Haven Arms Company. The so-called Henry rifle brought the breakthrough. After the separation from Henry, the success story of the Winchester Repeating Arms Company began. Winchester had fundamentally redesigned and improved the Henry rifle "Model 1866" to bring the first Winchester rifle to market. Further innovative developments continuously secured growing market shares. Especially as a manufacturer of repeating firearms, Winchester became world-famous. The Winchester brand is now owned by Olin Corporation, and the name is used under license by two subsidiaries of the Herstal Group.
