A little more info - you mentioned that the rifle has a pistol grip, this makes it the Legacy model. They tend to bring a few more dollars than the standard Traditional model (straight grip). Also, the magnum sells for $50 - $100 more than

…Bill,

Bert forwarded me your inquiry about your Model 40 Skeet Gun.  

First of all, several bits of information would be of great interest to me for my census (I’ve been tracking Model 40’s since…

…with six wrench flats - not the later round-head variety with only two wrench flats). 

You asked about valuation and disposition….

The Model 40 is perhaps the second-least appreciated Winchester firearm (that designation arguably goes to the Model 40’s predecessor, the Model 1911/11). …

…one factor.  Demand must also be addressed:  Taking into account zero hunting/target interest, and near zero collector interest, understandably the Model 40 market is extremely “soft”….

Recent Model 40 Skeet Gun sales noted: •SN7, two-barrel set, Ulrich factory engraving, Rock Island Auction $5…

…LeMay ownership, ProxiBid auction $4,000. 

As indicated, these are retail gun show/auction prices.  Because of the difficulty in marketing this model and assuming you wish to sell, I’m guessing that if you were to walk into a gun shop or gun show with your gun, you would probably be offered less

…came with old Winchesters.

I do not have any antique Winchesters yet, but I have a couple of modern Winchesters made by Miroku, and a post 64 model 94 made in 1970. 

This is my new manufactured 1892 in 44 Magnum. It was a gift from a friend and just a small portion of God's blessing on me

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.

To date I have only documented one Winchester (a Model 1886) rifle from the list that survives.  Five Colt SAA's are known in private collections.  I am sure there are other survivors that are not

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

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…
