The tubular magazine loads
through the right-side mount-
ed loading port in the receiver.
On the top tang you'll notice
the primary difference between
today's Winchester 1892 and
the original. Your model fea-
tures a top tang mounted safe-
ty that serves a 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 effec-
tive and extremely popular features of the Model 1886
and incorporating them in a much smaller rifle for
smaller calibers.
Hunters of the last century
wanted the kind of metal,
crescent buttplate you get on
your Model 1892
The select walnut stock is
beautifully cut checkered.
The 1892 demands a high level of careful machin-
ing and hand finish. Qualities that are uncommon
in most of today’s mass produced guns. Qualities
that take more effort but that you will appreciate
for generations.
The two vertical lock-
ing lugs lock into
matching recesses in
the breech bolt for
secure lockup.
The versatile, compact action design was originally
made to handle a variety of shorter cartridges. You
can expect the same reliable feeding with your new
Model 1892. The design of the lever and link
mechanisms are both clever and unique. Other levers
of the day had bulkier designs that dropped below the
bottom of the receiver.
