Found This By Chance While Online
And I jumped on it. Introduced at the 2017 Shot Show, this is a NIB limited availability 125th anniversary Winchester model 1892 in .45 Colt. Got it yesterday and this morning cleaned all the cosmoline and stuff off of it and it is ready to go.
It is the sporster model with the 24-inch barrel half round, half octagon. Wood is grade IV/V. Bluing, wood fit and mechanical function all superb. Love this rifle and it will one to pass down to my grandchildren. After I shoot a hog or two

That is REALLY NICE! Love the half round 24" barrel and the square butt. D&T tang. Great wood and finish. A beautiful variation of a classic. Enjoy.

Sweet!! I've yearned for a revolver chambered lever gun and can't seem to pull the trigger. I would if I ran across this one.
