  Have a Winchester model 1892 in a 25/20 cal. I have been told that the barrel has been cut off. What are my options. Should try to find a different barrel or leave it as is. Cabelas has said not worth much.

  The answer is not as simple or straightforward as you might think... it depends on when specifically it was manufactured, and which variation of the Model 1892 that it is.

  Hello,
  
  The original factory production ledgers exist for the first 380,000 Model 1892 rifles. In my research of looking at these VERY FEW are noted as having an "oil finish." And this style of finish is typically found only on special order unique rifles. Far less that 1% of the total rifles. Therefore, if you are looking at a standard configuration rifle it is most likely a varnish type of finish on it.
