I only have one 92 and it is a round barrel rifle with no finish except in a few areas, but no rust or pitting. The great thing about it is the pristine bore. Also chambered in 25-20 and that is a fun cartridge. A little noise and a gentle push on the shoulder. Another reat little lever gun is the Marlin 1894 in 32 20 and 25 20. They are a little smaller in proportion and the 92 has a female athletes body, a little bulked up whiler the Marlin is a little more trim like a pretty lady in a black dress. Both are great guns and the 32-20 and 25-20 are two of the most fun calibers you can shoot. Both unfortunately are hard to find in the early guns with a good bore.
