1892 Winchester

The 1892 Winchester was Winchester's response to Marlin's model of 1889, which made them seem like they were lagging behind by still promoting their now old design, the 1873. They turned to John Moses Browning to help them "modernize" the Winchester, which resulted in the model of 1892.
Big thanks to Heritage Manufacturing for providing this 1892, not only for this video, but also to use in our Brutality Matches. Another thanks to ‪@TrueShotAmmo‬ for their support for the channel by providing ammo for this video, but also prizes at our Brutality events!

Love the detail about how Marlin and Winchester pushed themselves and their products in honest competition. The old days really were something, huh?

[@felixcat9318]

As a 17 year old travelling in Paris back in the mid 1970's I came across an antique store in which they had a Winchester Yellow Boy with an octagonal barrel. As a long haired English kid they weren't inclined to take it off display for me to actually touch it, but I really loved that gun on first sight! Naturally, as a youngster I'd watched westerns in which Winchester lever action rifles and carbines proliferated, and I imagine that I was predisposed to liking these guns. Decades on, I've never forgotten that beautiful gun in Paris. Your 1892 looks gorgeous, and I can only imagine how well buyers at the time took to it. Thank you for your excellent videos on these gorgeous guns.

[@recoilrob324]

I have a Rossi 92 in 38/357 and to make it feed smoother took a little chamfering of the chamber bottom to make it like a feed lip. A little off does it so no worries about cartridge head failures. The second best thing was to replace the ejector spring with a much softer one. Mine would throw empties way over my head...and that energy came from increased closing effort as the ejector got compressed. Softer spring doesn't throw them as far and requires just a light touch to close now. Good guns made better with just a wee bit of effort.

[@dragomirw.844]

Always love your passion for history, Karl!

[@AKAKiddo]

I have a 20 inch Rossi '92 in Stainless 357. Its a very nice gun...now, but took quite a bit of work to make it so. The tube spring was too long and had to be shortened in stages. The kings gate opening was so sharp it would cut you and damage the brass casings. The ejector, hammer, and lever detent springs were too stiff, making it hard to cycle and throw the empties far behind you. And it would load 38 spcls, but not 357, for which i had to put a slight chamfer on the cylinder throat to fix. To do all this you have to totally disassemble the gun several times. Its buttery smooth now. Thank you youtube for showing me how to take it apart. The gun will jam if you cycle it while holding it sideways, like you're apt to do when lying down. And the firing pin safety block is too small, weak, and hard to get hold of. Mine broke after not too many hammer strikes. But other than those several things, it's a great gun, and I love it. But be prepared to do a bit of smithing. Still want a '73 though, not to replace the '92, but as a companion to keep and compare.

[@DeviantOllam]

I feel very happy with these conclusions and it makes me feel even better about opting for an 1892 action when I picked mine up. 😁👍

[@WhatIfBrigade]

I think this is a great explanation of why Karl or Russell Fagen would prefer an 1873, and also why the vast majority of people should trust that John Moses Browning's 2nd revision of a beloved Winchester design is best.

I received,as a gift from the wife, a Rossi R92,16" bbl. Love that little rifle! The only problem was it was supposed to be in 38/357! When she brought it home, turns out to be.45 Colt!! No problem! Now I have TWO R92 s!!! Added the 38/357 carbine a couple years ago!!

[@tylertapp131]

I love my Rossi 92, wish mine was blued but the stainless has grown on me over the past few years. I have a 20 inch 45 colt, its been an awesome, rugged, reliable, and accurate as hell little rifle. I dont reload but ive been savin all my brass just on the chance i decided to ever get into it.

[@samirish6696]

What a timely video! I just had my first experience shooting against short stroked 73's with my 92. I was pushing for speed, and induced a few malfunctions trying to keep up. I like my 92, and will try to improve through more practice before I upgrade.

[@InrangeTv]

Switching between the 73 and 92 is clunky, specially if you have any mods to the 73.

[@PokemonHaloFan]

I always love Karls lever gun videos. Lever guns are one firearm type I've never really gotten the chance to enjoy. I've owned over a dozen bolt action and semi auto rifles but never a lever gun. Karls videos are really making me want to try one out.

[@Pocky311]

I've always loved the late-west feel of the 1892, thank you for giving it a fair shake.

[@wormyboot]

Seeing John Moses Browning holding posing for a picture with his finger on the trigger makes me feel funny, like when I climbed the rope in gym class.

[@kbjerke]

My favourite style of rifle, as well! Besides several 1894s, I do have a Model 1892 made in the first year of production, in 38WCF. Lovely, but expensive to shoot! So my CAS rifle is a Marlin 1894 in 45 Colt. Thanks for the video, Karl! 👍

It is strange , although you can get long mags in Australia, the majority of winchesters in Australia have half magazines. Also the majority are 1892, 32.20, 25.20, & 44.40.

[@alun7006]

Good stuff, Karl. Interesting that that 92 repro is so much cheaper than the 73s - is that just because of where it comes from or are there other factors? I can't see the 73 being more demanding in terms of manufacturing, unless I'm missing something. Having tried your 1873 at CQB Brutality (thank you again) I am an instant convert! Hopefully will be getting one at some point so it's good to hear there are options.

A number of years ago, you did a video where you went through techniques to smooth out the action of your 1860/66/73 as well as "gamer" techniques to run the gun more efficiently. Will you be doing a similar video on the 1892?

There are different Model 1892 guns available these days (Miroku, Chiappa, Rossi, etc), and I'm looking for at least a decent .44 Magnum one, for hunting purpose (long story short: hunting is the easiest way to get any firearm licence in my country, Hungary). The minimum barrel lenght is 45cm for hunting here, and the 18" is just fine (and above). But what I cannot decide, octagonal barrel or round barrel? At the range for fun shooting more rounds would be shot than on a regular stalking, hunting (except driven game hunting). The octagonal looks more thick than the round one. Is that better for heat transfer, handling the heat what multiple shots cause?

What is the smoothest/slickest 357 levergun under a grand? I have thought about an 1873, but wonder if there are others nearly as slick? Thanks. I remember being disappointed by the lack of smoothness the first time I cycled my Winchester Model 94. Even after cycling it hundreds of times, it is still a a bit rough.

I don't know about under a grand. The answer is 1866 followed by 1873.

A lot of colleagues at my shooting club use 1894 Rossis (mostly stainless variations, verry nice guns) and a couple years ago I was set on buying one of those too. But then a friend of mine discoverd a Winchester/Miroku 1873 at local shop. I baugt it and today after a lot of competitions all over Bavaria (no cowboy-action though) its the gun in my collection I like the most.

[@Big_Mike_1116]

8 months back I commented about 1892s and your response was "I don't recommend any Winchester 92s. 1866 or 1873 or go home. :D" so I was a bit hesitant in viewing this video. I'm glad you gave the 1892 a fair shake and I definitely see your perspective for the 1873 now. if you had any desire to slick up an 1892, definitely look into steve's gunz, the Rossi 92 specialist, and that might help it to get a bet closer in smoothness and speed to the 1873. For me though, I'm not a competition or race shooter so my needs are very different. I'm mostly a collector, but I like all of my firearms to have some theoretical function if needed. in my home state, there is a straight walled hunting law but unlike many other states that have caliber or OAL restrictions, Maryland has a minimum energy requirement for hunting rounds fired from a handgun (700 foot pounds muzzle energy or greater) or rifle (1200 foot pounds muzzle energy or greater) so, for me, power does matter, and the 1873 cannot be chambered in a caliber that meets these requirements. the 1892, chambered in 44 Magnum is capable of reaching 1200 foot pounds of muzzle energy and it can be paired with my Ruger Blackhawk bisley in 44 Magnum to achieve over 700 foot pounds of energy in the same caliber. this is why I settled on the 1892 as my preferred lever gun.

[@ApurtureSci]

Uberti did actually make an 1873 in 44 Mag, but I'm not sure I'd want my face right behind that toggle...

[@SuperLysergic]

I have one, hundreds of rounds through it without issue. If you look on the website for their Hunter model, Uberti specifically states that they heat treat the steel with .44 Magnum in mind, and this does not apply to the .45 Colt model. They are properly proofed.

[@ApurtureSci]

@@SuperLysergic I'm sure that's absolutely true, but I still wonder if the toggle links can handle heavy loads over a long period of time. There's only so much you can do to strengthen that design

[@VikOlliver]

Karl, I have seen a '73 fail due to an out of battery discharge. The shooter was fine if peeved. The firing pin retainer sheared, jamming the firing pin forward. The exploding cartridge forced the lifting block down with enough force to bend the lever. I replaced the pin, the lever was straightened by a competent gunsmith (and she OK'd the gun), and the owner still shoots it today as bad as he ever did :)

[@minuteofcan]

Love the 1892 in a carbine. Mine was supposedly an elk camp outhouse gun in a previous life. Fortunately, it only smells like oil and gunpowder.

[@elektro3000]

I love the levergun content and I really appreciate the explanation of the '73 versus the '92. But what I TRULY want to watch is a comparison video of the Winchester 1886 versus the Marlin 1895! I very much enjoy my 1895CB with the giant octagon barrel but I'd quite like to add an '86 to the collection as well.

[@OldFashioned-h1k]

The reason why Winchester did not chamber the 1876 in .45-70 was to do with cartridge overall length. The .45-70 was available in two common loadings with different bullet weights and different overall lengths. The elevator in the 1876 could be made to work with one load or the other but not with both interchangeably in the same rifle.

[@Broken_Yugo]

Yeah, they offered the 1876 in a .50-95 express round also designed for the gun with a defined OAL, I'll hazard a guess that's hotter than any .45-70 loading around at the time.

[@youngbloodbear9662]

Whats the difference between the 92 and 94? In my video game education the 94 is the iconic levergun- its been interesting learning more of the history from your videos

I own an 1892 Winchester made by Miroku and it's without a doubt one of the highest quality lever action rifles ever made, Japanese steel with American design. I got the saddle ring carbine with the large loop level in .357 Magnum. The only thing that sucks about it is it specifically states on the barrel it's .357 Mag ONLY. Not compatible with 38 Special which I thought was weird.

[@51mharri-xt7jj]

How does the 73 hold up to a steady diet of regular 357 and maybe an occasional hunting load? I’ve seen rumors online of the action stretching or something, but that sounds like potential fudd engineering. Looking to pick up a lever gun and pistol in matching calibers soon, mostly just for fun. I’m leaning towards an unberti 73 rifle and peacemaker in 357, or a stainless marlin and Ruger of some sort (357 or 44).

[@456eec]

Thomas Bennett was the VP of Winchester and visited Browning to discuss the development of what was to become the 1892 Winchester. At that time Winchester were buying the patents outright. Bennett told Browning they would pay $10000 if he could develop a working prototype in 3 months and $15000 if he could do it in 2. Browning came back with a request for $20000 if he could do it in 30 days. Bennett did not think he could so agreed. 30 days later Browning had developed the prototype and was paid $20000 for the design. Bennett went on to marry one of Oliver Winchester's daughters and became president of Winchester Repeating Arms Company.

[@gabemondry]

Rossi just announced an 1895 R95 chambered in pistol calibers, .357 and .44. I’d be curious on your thoughts of an R95 vs. The R92. Is top or side ejecting better?

Got 1 yrs ago. The original - no knock-off. I prefer it over older '73 & newer '94. Best there ever was - Winchester shoulda stopped there.

[@Jesses001]

I thought I would hate the safety on top and planned on removing it. I ended up liking it. What I do after loading the rifle, I turn the safety on, lower the hammer to half cock, then turn the safety off. This way if I slip, it does not go off. The safety only blocks the firing pin, so I can lower the hammer without trouble. One issue I have with that feeding is the rifle will not feed upside down. I know, kind of an odd situation to even have to use such a weapon upside down, but on the off chance I do, I know it will not feed properly. I have heard mixed results so it really depends on the individual rifle. Mine is in .357 by the way. Had a ton of that ammo anyway so might as well.

[@whiskeyinthejar24]

Interesting about the lifter angle. I've seen a few comments from other chiappa owners talk about their 1892s being a little fussy feeding some projectile shapes.

If I may ask a question sir both rifles have the buckhorn sights(on the 73 I put a bullseye aperture rear sight on it) because I have a problem with that buckhorn sighting it. I have looked on YT but only found one video on how the sight picture is. He said use the buckhorn like a top open aperture or peep sight with front post in center of imaginary circle. Is that correct Karl? If not could you explain the right sighting picture. Is it front bead filling that vertical notch in the bottom of the rear sight. Thank you in advance for your help.

Rewatching this video, it looks like several times you had a "double eject" where you ejected 1 spent case and 1 live round. I have the same issue with my Rossi 92. Is this common across 92 platforms and what foxes have you used for it?

[@s.d.bobplissken5674]

I'd a rossi in .357 some years back. First rifle I'd issues with right out the box. Front sight was so loose just fell out the notch. And working the action would pop the loading gate out locking the action till it was beat back in. It would only get worse where I never even fired it just sold it off first opportunity.

I've owned both the Winchester 94 and the Marlin 336, I prefer the 336, I feel it's a better design and looks nicer and more like a vintage lever gun, but both are great. I think I'm going back to the 94 because I found an original that has a side mount scope and the iron sights are still on it.

As far as repros go it's also *way* easier to find a Heritage or Rossi or whatever than an Uberti at a local gun store. I might end up picking one of these up, lever guns are fun but expensive.

I really like my 92 from South America. I have had it for over 20 years and it wasn't new when I bought it. No modern safety. I actually prefer to hunt with it because it is a short carbine but also light. You feel a major difference between it and the Marlin 30-30 I have.

[@cokedaz]

I have a Win 94AE in .38/.357 and an 1873 and used to have a Henry Big Boy in the UK. I love the 94, I tend to go for 16 inches because the extra capacity isn't worth it for me vs the size and weight of the gun. The only downside with the 94 vs the 73 is I can't top up the tube mid shooting which doesnt make it great for your matches. But it is really easy to single load, you can even just drop a round onto the lifter like a shotgun so you dont have to thumb a round directly into the chamber. I do love those. The 1873 is nice, a bit heavier like mentioned and less support for different sighting systems. I found the gun to shoot very high with all replacement sights and the front sight is a barrel band which makes it harder to swap out. I do feel the 94 was smoother than the 1873 but the 1873 was new. The big boy was just as smooth as the 94 even when new. I just didnt like the tube loading system it had, not had a chance to try the later side gate models. I love these guns. I only had 1 small go on a 92 which was a Chiappa, was a bit clunky. But it was before most of my other experience. Thanks for the video.

[@CTXSLPR]

Another advantage of an 1892 over a 1873, you can get it in .44 Rem Magnum vs. .357 Magnum being the top end for an 1873. Hope you keep the Q&A’s public as we learn a lot from you even if we can’t support during this season of our lives.

Damn, I really should buy more lever guns.

What is the hole forward and above the Kings gate? Is it an out of battery safety vent?

[@noahbergeron5020]

Great stuff about the differences between the '73 and the '92, particularly in how the design differences manifest themselves in use.

How do you feel about the Rossi 1892 quality vs an original?

[@InrangeTv]

They're a little less smooth but, in my experience, built very well.

Chuck Connors would like it in 44-40
