ENERAL 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 centu-
ry. With a few minor exceptions, the action is virtu-
ally 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.
Cycling the lever smoothly moves a cartridge from
8
the tubular magazine to the chamber. After firing,
working the lever ejects the empty cartridge nearly
straight up and slightly to the right, over your head.
Returning the lever upward cycles a new cartridge
from the magazine into the chamber. The 1892's
uncanny, reliable, smooth function made it an
instant success in its day. We are sure you will appre-
ciate its incredibly design and high level of precision
as you become familiar with it by reviewing these
instructions.
