… the one on your gun appears to be a later sight. Someone took off the original with the white line, and replaced with the later. The line model 24E are hard to find!

That’s what I’m thinking now also. Thanks Clark & Bert. The hunt is on.

… very nice shortie, love the 3/4 mag. and screw eyes. The rear sight with the line is the 24E and was discontinued 2/5/08, and could be had on all models.

Thank you Clark and also for the sight info. Just wondering if you would happen to have a photo of one of those.

I was advised the one

Highly sought after, by anyone intending to shoot it--as opposed to lock it up in a gun safe.

No experience Mike... Father-In-Law was an avid knife and firearm collector. Trying to understand some of the models that seem to be harder track to track down. The gun is well balanced and I would love to shoot it. We will be keeping some and selling some. The

I’m not sure who would buy this but to each his own I guess.

Hello All, 

I just picked up a model 1892 takedown in 32-20. The old fella I got it from had it for 52 yrs. I know this for a fact because he provided me with the original receipt…

…- 84. I asked why he was selling to which he replied he was purging his belongings so his wife had less to deal with.

 On to the rifle. It’s a model 1892 takedown in 32-20 made in 1903. The stock has been refinished as the wood around the tang is low. There is also a repaired crack in the fore

…?  I would like to enter it into my survey.  The serial number corresponds to 1914 but the barrel markings on the gun were not used until 1925.  Model 1892 production in the SN range of your rifle is dominated by SRC's in 44 WCF.  See below from my work.  Model 1892's fitted with fluted shotgun…

…butts are not common.  I have cataloged just over 19,000 Model 1892/92's and only 86 have fluted shotgun butts.  Of those, only 22 are sporting rifles the balance are SRC's(22) or carbines without a sling ring

…in my opinion. The gun is in good working condition and that is where my question comes in. It locks up tight, has a good bore and is a takedown model. It seems to me it deserves some love to bring it back to its glory. I am just unsure of the best path forward. My other option is to just sell it

…may know I passed on a M12 Skeet in 20 a few years back, bought the Browning Citori XS 20ga in the rack beside it. Should have bought both but the Model 12 didn’t seem quite right. I have plenty of shooters, and the first Skeet M12 would be a good one. I think I’ll shoot a round of Skeet with a 1300…

…want another shot at a 20 ga M12 Skeet. I have a long history with a 1300 Riot gun; training, duty and a bit of competition. That’s why I like the Model 12. Please don’t tell me if you find a nice M12 Skeet in 20, I’m embarrassingly broke right now, lol.

Roger,

I have your rifle listed in my survey but I do not have any images saved.  I do have a notation that the Model 92 designation is on the right hand side of the barrel.  Is that correct?  I have found several late 1929 and 1930 produced SRC's with earlier…

Yours is the last of the upper tang markings used; the progression was from Model 1892, to Model 92, to yours.  All other aspects of cond & configuration being equal (which seldom occurs), I'd assign greater value to the first marking.

That is not correct.  The last upper tang stamp style found on the Model 92 rifles was the Style #6 which has dashes before and after the bottom two lines of print.

…Michael,

You did not mention which cartridge it is chambered for, or which specific variant of the Model 54 you have.  Can you post (or provide) clear pictures of your Model 54?
