m oDel 1892 F eAtures
The Model 1892 of today is a careful reproduction of one
of the original configurations made over 100 years ago.
The Model 1892 design is visually exciting with its
complex machining and hand finishing. These qualities
are uncommon in most of today’s mass produced guns.
They are qualities that take more effort to build, something
you will appreciate for years to come.
The tubular magazine loads
through a loading port in the
right side of the receiver.
The Model 1892 is a compact version of the revered
Model 1886. Smaller, lighter and faster handling than the
Model 1886, the Model 1892 shared the same cartridges as
popular revolvers of the day. That meant the shooter had to
carry only one caliber of ammunition to serve both the rifle
and revolver. The design of the lever and link mechanisms are
both clever and unique. These attributes made the compact
Model 1892 a handy, fast-handling favorite.
