Well I finally pulled the trigger over at CDNN and dropped $1500 on a special Winchester 1892 in .44 Mag.

It had everything I have been looking for over a long time. A 24" barrel would have been nice, but a 20" barrel has it's advantages.

There are three left at the CDNN website, If you like these lever actions then now is the time to buy.

Oh it does have an octagon barrel and is tapped for a Marbles tang sight! :grin:

Nice. I have one from 15ish years ago in 45 Colt.

This is the part of the problem, Rifles like this only come around once every twenty years. Usually the will cost you a first born son. Colt does this with their SA revolvers, but now there is Standard Mfg. http://www.stdgun.com/sa-revolver-1/ They are pricey, but I have heard that they are just as good or better than US Arms.

Guess you got tired of the rat race going on with the ones in White.

Very nice indeed. Congrats.

Mine is up at Turnbull, and should be going into the works sometime late February, early March.

The rat race went uptown and prices doubled from $1325 to $2700!

There are still three available at $1500 which is a sweet deal!

Miroku Made?

Yes it is made by Miroku.

Nice, been looking at the AAA Maple 1873s they have as well. Wish I had more $

I know how you feel about the lack of $, But things came together at the last minute. I had a Kimber 8400 in 30-06 on consignment for TWO years and it finally sold. The LGS said he could have sold it at a higher price many times if it had been another caliber. Going to put my NIB 1892 Winchester .44 Magnum on consignment.

I think I need on of these. Please post up some photos as soon as you can. I need a little push over the edge.

@MrWhipple I picked up my 1892 Winchester/Navy arms today and it is stunning!

I would post pictures, but I still haven't found a work around for the uploads from a Samsung phone to Microsoft which is really frustrating!

The 20" octagon barrel and magazine tube are a deep glossy blue/black. The frame, trigger, trigger guard, hammer, lever and crescent butt plate are color case hardened and lean towards striped metallic blue with high lights of yellow and red. The wood is very nice and finished with a gloss lacquer(?). The checkering is gorgeous and feels a little sharp to the touch.

The action is smooth and I assume that it will become even smoother with use. I guesstimate the trigger pull at a crisp six pounds with no creep or take up.

Compared to a new/old stock 1892 short rifle? Everything is one to two steps above.

At $1500 it is definitely a great buy. The Navy arms 1892's have an MSRP of $2300 and prices ranging from $2016-$2045.

I hope I don't have to push you around anymore! Can we be friends? :grin:

Grabbed my CC, signed into CDNN only to find them sold out...

I am sorry to hear that as the one I got is just exquisite. It is kind of a surprise that the remaining three just disappeared overnight as they were on the CDNN website for a while.

I bought mine when I wasn't exactly happy with my finances. Normally unless I have cash in hand that is designated for such purchases I don't spend the money. But I was able to finally sell a Kimber in 30-06 and a friend is buying my Winchester 1892 Short Rifle and these both cover the new Winchester 1892.

Maybe you will see them on the Gunbroker/CDNN sight. https://www.gunbroker.com/All/search?Keywords=CDNN

I'll check back in next week as well as GB. Thanks. -C

If they are indeed auctioning them on Gunbroker, there will only be three at most with only one offered in each ten day auction period. The first one might be the cheapest auction price overall. Wait until the very end of the auction as their is no purpose to driving the price up early.

Good luck, if they come up for auction! If they do, I will PM you as I am interested in seeing how these sell! :grin:

CDNN liquidates firearms. They must turn these firearms at a profit ASAP.

Fingers crossed. Hoping to end up with one of these beautiful rifles.

Well here is your chance! There should be three of these up for auction on Gun Broker, but there could be less than three. They are on 14 day auctions! Ugggh!
