MODEL 1892 FEATURES
F IGURE 1
On the top tang you'll notice the
primary difference between today's
Winchester 1892 and the original.
Your model features a top tang
mounted safety that serves as a
hammer block. The hammer is
also of the rebounding type, to help
prevent accidental discharge.
These safety improvements give
your rifle an added level of safety
you will appreciate.
Today's Classic Traditions Model 1892 is a careful
reproduction of one of the original configurations of over
100 years ago.
The 1892 is a classic design, taking many of the
effective and extremely popular features of the
Model 1886 and incorporating them in a much
smaller rifle for smaller calibers.
The two vertical locking
lugs lock into matching
recesses in the breech
bolt for secure lockup.
