Notes
This Model 1892 Winchester lever action rifle is one of the over one million that were produced between 1892 and 1941. It was originally designed as an updated version of the famous Model 1873 Winchester, also known as "the gun that won the west." The M1892's compact and lightweight design made it easy to use on horseback, and its action was considered to be smooth, strong, and reliable. It was most commonly used for hunting, law enforcement, and protection on the frontier. It was widely popularized by notable contemporaries, such as polar explorer Robert E. Peary and markswoman Annie Oakley. Later, the gun earned the moniker of "the gun that won the Western," as it became the rifle of choice in many major films and television shows.
