Do they make them in any other calibers that are more common? I would enjoy having one to shoot. It sure was sweet to me. Different guns fit people differently but that one sure felt nice.Mike said:Red Robin said:I picked up a winchester 1892 the other day at a friends. It was as sweet as mothers love.

I would say $250-$600 range. There's quite a few still around. Many worn completely out though.
I think they sold for about $6-$8 new and sold like hot cakes via mail-order back then.
The 38-40 & 44-40 was slightly more popular, but Winchester still makes all that ammo because of the Cowboy Shooting popularity.
Watched an old Chuck Connors, "The Rifleman" just the other night.
