Is it possible that Winchester made the 1892 in stainless steel? If so how many were made in which model and caliber? Thanks for the info.

I have a Winchester model 1892 carbine in 38-40 cal. The serial No. indicates that it was made in 1894. Since I figure that this was a black powder era would this gun be safe to shoot with modern ammo.? The rifle seems to be in pretty good shape. I know it should be checked by a smith ect. I guess my question is would it be safe to shoot it with modern ammo if it passed that test.

They make slings with adjustable loops that fit around the barrel friction tight. If the front portion of the magazine tube is unaltered? Probably not a good idea to rework it to take a sling swivel.

uncle mikes makes (made?) a clamp on sling base that just clamps to the magazine tube. this should be close
