responsibilities. How seriously you take these respon-
sibilities can be the difference between life and death.
There is no excuse for careless or abusive handling of
any firearm. At all times handle your rifle and any
other firearm with intense respect for its power and
potential danger.
PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL OF
THE CAUTIONS, PROPER HANDLING PRO-
CEDURES AND INSTRUCTIONS OUTLINED
IN THIS BOOKLET BEFORE USING YOUR
NEW FIREARM.
1. Do not carry a loaded gun with a live round in the
chamber while walking, running, climbing a tree,
crossing a fence or anywhere you might slip or fall,
drop the gun or otherwise bump or jar the gun. A gun
that is dropped, bumped, or jarred with a chambered
round might accidentally discharge even with the
safety on, causing serious injury to you or someone
else. When a round is chambered keep the safety on
until you are ready to shoot.
2. Do not rely on the safety to prevent accidental dis-
charge. Many safeties merely block the trigger and
prevent firing by pulling the trigger. The safety may
not prevent an accidental discharge due to dropping,
MODEL 1892 CLASSIC TRADITIONS
When it comes to legends the Model 1892 stands
with the greatest. It is a gun you and your family will
be proud to own, shoot and enjoy for generations. We
sincerely hope that you are pleased with your new
rifle.
After the incredible success of the Winchester 1886
it was obvious that a smaller caliber version would be
an extremely useful design. That is what lead to the
Model 1892. Like the 1886 it features dual, vertical
locking lugs for impressive strength. But since it was
designed for smaller calibers, the action could be
significantly smaller and lighter, and even faster
handling.
Its popularity is legendary. Admiral Peary carried one
on his quest for the North Pole. It was a favorite of
Annie Oakley. Not to mention the thousands of
ranchers and hunters that have relied on one every
day for over a century.
Today’s Classic Traditions Model 1892 comes in sev-
eral grades and caliber configurations. All are beauti-
fully finished and made to the level of precision and
quality that made the originals famous.
