GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Your new Model 1892 rifle is a modern version of the
rifle that became so popular with tens of thousands
of ranchers, farmers and cowboys late in the 19th
century. With a few minor exceptions, the action is
virtually identical to the way the originals were
made in 1892. The primary difference is the addition
of a top tang mounted safety switch for added
convenience and an increased margin of safety. The
1892’s safety mechanism incorporates both a hammer
stop and a rebounding hammer. These advanced
features move the traditional Model 1892 design to
a new level of convenience and safety. These features
are explained in detail later in this manual.
Figure 1 covers the general features and benefits of
the Model 1892 design.
