I have a couple questions reguarding a 92. I havent found any surveys or info on how many cased 92’s were made. I know it was not many and did they have the same problems as the 94’s? was it the size of frame and thickness that was the problem? I tought i read somewhere that is why the discontinued the 94 after they made 157 of them.

Im going to have Jessica do some extra. Had to be something in the show world for sure. I got more investigating to do. I cant find my darn cord to download from phone onto computer.
Maybe send the photos from your phone to your email. Then open and save them to your desktop. That’s what I do.

Would be great to know the story this rifle could tell. It does appear to be built for an exhibition shooter but there were quite a few a bit after this gun was built. I think the list was a bit shorter during this time period but this may be another time I’m profoundly mistaken.

I will try to get some photos of it on. There is (was) one other out there as it said one other gun shipped with same as listed above.
That is fascinating.
Michael – do you have these two rifles in your survey
Steve,
I do not have either of the rifles in my survey. I look forward to getting the photos.

Within the first 290,000 Model 1892 rifles manufactured there was a total pf 371 case hardened receivers produced. Of those 234 were used on SRC’s and the balance of 137 were sporting rifles. There were non produced after approximately SN 164000 in 1901.

About eight or nine years ago I was at one of the last OGCA shows they had at the IX center in Cleveland. I walked past a table and a fellow had a model 1892 SRC with a case hardened receiver as well as the letter. The colors were muted some but were still really nice. He had a price of $15k on the carbine. I kept walking. I could not believe something like that even existed.

Someone has that gun and is pry happy with whatever the big price was because to them its worth it and pry is………I would of asked if he’d take 8500 tho before walking haha
