Looking at a 92 src from 1926, yes I checked our dating tool here. The model is stamped in the barrel with the caliber. However it is also model stamped in the tang. Is this correct?

Tom,
It sounds fishy… can you post a picture of the tang marking?
Based on what I have observed, a 1926 production Model 92 should have a Type 6 UT marking…
Just to double check, a 1926 production Model 92 should have a serial number in the 938034 – 955600 range.

Hopefully Michael (2bit) checks in on this topic and provides his educated input. I certainly would not expect to find that UT marking on a late 1926 production Model 92, but stranger things exist.

But it’s not a .33 or a .45-90…

Going to post this simply so I’ll remember to come back see the answer….I vaguely remember reading somewhere about some of these “double model stamped” crossovers, can’t for the life of me remember where right now… all hail 2bit!

Well Steve it is a big bore! Beside some times you just have to expand your horizons. Plus they are legal to hunt deer with in these shotgun only zone here in NH. Can’t quite get the F&G convinced that 45-90 is only a 45 colt with a magnum charge. LMAO!
Oh and don’t get me started on the 33wcf. You know where that will go.
