Winchester Collector - Forum: Winchester Rifles https://winchestercollector.org/forum/winchester-rifles/ Simple:Press Version 6.11.14 twobit on 92 Trapper at auction https://winchestercollector.org/forum/winchester-rifles/92-trapper-at-auction/#p182820 Winchester Rifles https://winchestercollector.org/forum/winchester-rifles/92-trapper-at-auction/#p182820 Within the first 288,000 Model 1892's manufactured there were 5,387 short barreled carbine produced.  Of those the 16 inch is the most common at 2,495 then the 15 inch at 1,713 and then the 14 inch at 958 examples.  17, 18, and 12 inch examples start to get into hen's teeth range. Beyond 288,000 the disparity between 16 and 14 inch configurations decrease.  I have sampled 154 additional 16 inch examples compared to 128 additional 14 inch examples. Condition being equal then rarity will drive the price.

Here’s a very nice trapper that sold last week, hammered at 65k
  

Strewth. 

And that $65,000 USD is without the juice....

Is the rear sight correct on the ‘Pinnacle Trapper’?
  

It could be.  That is a late production Carbine.

Class act.  Highly recommend his service.  You get great national exposure—his photography skill is first rate and he gives very thorough and accurate descriptions.  PH

Hello,
Apologies to those who feel I should have listed it here for a set price. High condition vintage Winchesters are not my area of expertise, and I dont want to deal with shipping such a high dollar rifle. The consignor is familiar to me and within driving distance. I really have no idea what the value of this rifle is, the spread i found was pretty extreme so I thought it best to let the market decide.
  

I can understand you're point, and situation!

 

Tony

I agree, I wish it was offered on this forum first.

I totally understand the desire to sell at auction.  Post on this forum and if it sells very quickly, you will then wonder forever how much you really could have gotten for it.

You do not see many in that condition at all. I expect it will keep going up....

Is there a reason you didn't offer it here, on the WACA Forum, in the Classifieds first, or did you and I missed it?

Apologies if this post violates any rules of the forum. I am the owner of this rifle, if that matters
