Background
The original Winchester Model 1892 was designed by John Browning as a scaled-down version of the larger Model 1886, and became one of the most iconic lever-action rifles of the American West. Cimarron's faithful reproduction keeps the design alive for Cowboy Action Shooting and collectors.
