Picked it up on the way home from the range so it will have to wait until I clean a gun or three.

Maybe we should get some good horses and re-establish the pony express. Sure seems faster than USPS. BTW I would ride a short route!Laugh

]]> Wed, 04 Nov 2026 00:21:15 +0000 Zebulon on Winchester 1892 in 44-40 https://winchestercollector.org/forum/general-discussions-questions/winchester-1892-in-44-40/#p186209 General Discussions & Questions https://winchestercollector.org/forum/general-discussions-questions/winchester-1892-in-44-40/#p186209 May I suggest you consider an affordable one with a bad bore that you can have sleeved. 

There is an additional method of improving a pitted barrel if the rifling is still present. There is a ceramic liquid that you swab into the barrel and allow to dry. When dry you take it to the range a fire a series of jacketed bullets that hardens and cures the ceramic coating, which allegedly fills the pits and pulls any sharp edges. How well it works I don't know. 

There are a lot of 1892 rifles in 44 Winchester but not as many in the condition everybody seems to want. As Mike says, it will take a lot of time and effort to find one that satisfies you and is semi-affordable. 

There is another alternative amd that is to save your money, eat hamburger instead of steak - until you've got the cash to bargain for a really nice one that will really appreciate over time. Make it the centerpiece. 

If you are like me, you can do that once but not twice....

I have feelers out several different places. Trying to find an un-molested one is not all that easy. Patina is fine with me. Just would like a nice bore and not beat to hell and back. I do realize that they are not going to get any less expensive as time goes on.

I've thought about it! Maybe Bert will send me a PM with the club's source for those official ones I see them wearing... 😉
