spookster
i have a model 92 win in 32wcf that appears to have a smooth barrel. a .311 lead slug will go thru the barrel will only a little effort and with no rifling impressions on it. can anyone give any information on what i'm dealing with here?

    I have a Winchester Model 1892 that is a shooter not a collector. I am looking for a stock and forearm in better shape then those that are on it and have been told that the stocks and forearms from the Model 1894 will fit the 1892. Anyone know for a fact that this is true?
    Thanks

    The trappers were basically carbines with shorter than normal barrels, and as such, would nominally have saddle rings and carbine butts. Winchester would put any feature on a gun for a price, however, so I suppose crescent or shotgun butts could possibly be found on an original trapper carbine.(I've owned regular src's with both) Possible, but not likely. Congratulations on a nice find! -Asa

    so the bottom of the butt is squared off instead of pointed like the other 92's ???

    It's a little difficult to explain, but the metal carbine buttplate extends and is inletted over the top of the buttstock and fastened with a screw on the top. The rear is slightly curved, round at the bottom, and fastened with another woodscrew about 3/4 of the way down. Best thing you can do is go to the auction on this website, type "Winchester carbine" under the search and you'll see dozens of examples of the early carbine buttstock and plate. -Asa
