 Greetings twobit

TXgunnut passed word to me about your research.

Not sure if I contacted you previously about the 92’s I have been associated with down here.  All are 44 WCF except one nasty butchered SRC that was missing majors parts and re-chambered to 9mm. 

Oldest I have enjoyed was a second year SRC that had been well worn (serial almost completely gone)and sadly badly maintained.

There was another SRC’s  from 1902 I think.  Again well used but in better maintained condition. 

There was a 1892 rifle round barrel 44 WCF that was well used but had a descent bore.  Wood a bit rough.

Another 92 was a legitimate “short rifle”.  From 1923.  This one was the best of all I have seen down here.

The only one with me right now is a well used SRC #5096xx.  Has that little “Mod. 1892 ” stamped behind the hammer.  Sadly was reblued.   Muzzle badly worn by improper cleaning.  Stocks have loss and butt 6 small nails added.  But stocks still have original finish.  No ladder rear sight but a later folding type.

Hello Mike in Peru,

Thanks much for getting with me regarding Model 1892 rifles.  Is it SN 509605?  I think we may have communicated before.  I have that rifle in my data and it looks like what you are describing.
