Picked up a couple 1892s this past weekend.

.357/.38
This one is older and the action has been worked over and its smooth as butter

And the other

.45 Colt

This one is a brand new Hartford. The action is a little stiff but I will send it off to Steve's Gunz soon.

Very nice. Whats the born on date of your Winchester? I need to get a .38/.357 newer model, as mine is a early .38-40. I've ran approx 10 rounds through it, and it shoots like a dream, but is expensive, and I dont want to chance damaging such a pretty rifle. And yes the actions are smooth after they have been around the block a time or two!

I have not checked the book yet but I believe around 1970.

Oh yes....I have a safe. Two actually.

It should be noted that both of these are Hartford 92s. I have a guide that lets me date these also around here somewhere. The first one is an older one.....from the 70s I think. I have a couple of older Winchesters, one 1873 made in 1889 and one original 1892 made in 1899. I also have a couple of 1894s but none that are real old. I picked these two Hartford models up to have something to shoot the heck out of.
