Next Summer at Cody, you will be expected to buy drinks all around. The good news is each member who accepts your hospitality will buy you a drink in return. Somebody will bring along a shutter to carry you back your hotel.
Congratulations. That is one hell of a Winchester.

I noticed that Amoskeag is selling a handful of “trappers” in a couple weeks. Including a 73 in 44!

Within the first 288,000 Model 1892’s manufactured there were 2,473 16 inch saddle ring carbines. NONE of them were chambered for 25-20 WCF. 95% are 44 WCF caliber. When I look at my survey data of rifles found out in the real world over the entire production history of the 1892’s the first 25-20 shows up at SN 471629. I don’t have another one until 289,702 rifles later at SN 761331!! From that point on I have 13 SN’s fairly evenly distributed over the next 181,394 SN’s up to 942725. Trying to extrapolate just how many were manufactured is a tough job since the distribution is obviously not constant. Let it be said that any 16% saddle ring carbine other than a 44 WCF is a difficult rifle to acquire!
