The rifle shows no modifications that I could make out or am able to identify now..rogertherelic said
If you have a good magnifying glass, you might be able to make out the hairline circle that would be evidence of a chamber replacement, IF that’s what was done to convert it to the WCF cart. That’s not a gunsmithing job often done, but nothing else I can think of explains why it won’t chamber a .25 SS round.
Roger,
I just finished looking through all of my research notes and published documentation to see when Winchester manufactured the first Model 1892 in 25-20. Based on what I can find, it was August 1895. That stated, Michael (2bit) may have better information.

Before a customer could order a .25 WCF, he’d have to know it was available, so when was it first advertised? Most new products were advertised in one of the popular shooting pubs, such as (in the 1890s) Shooting & Fishing. Anybody here have the Broadfoot reprint? For yrs I wished I could afford to buy it, but at this point I’m glad I did not.
In today’s world with people changing their gender, they are referred to as “Trans”. Perhaps this rifle is just an early “Trans Rifle”! 
One never knows! RDB

Here is a nice set for not a bad price, it is still not too late!

Not a bad price, but for one having hundreds of similar millstones around his neck, it IS too late.
