Winchester 1892 SRC w/shotgun butt
Good morning,
I have acquired a Winchester 1892 carbine in 38/40 that's in about 70% condition or so. I'm no Winchester expert, but the carbine appears to be in original condition. It is equipped with a shotgun butt and unfortunately because of the serial number range (1911 mfg date) I cannot get it lettered from Cody due to the fire at the museum. Although the left side receiver screws show evidence of turning, the buttstock screws appear to have never been touched, and the wood to metal fit is tight with no chips or gaps. I'm not interested in selling it, but I'm trying to find out how this uncommon butt affects the value of the carbine for insurance reasons. Any help or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks and have a great day.
