I have been thinking about picking up a lever action lately and was at a local gun shop and saw a Winchester 1892 in 38-40. I gotta admit it felt pretty nice cradled in my arm. The but stock is a little loose and the reciever is close to bare or has little to no finish left. The outside of the barrel and tubular magazine look pretty good. Barrel looked dirty but I could see some rifling left.
I passed it up once for $595.00. But I do field service and as luck would have it, I have another stop with in walking distance... well on the same block as the shop. And I don't if I am strong enough to drive by there with out taking it with me.
I would like to shoot it rather than park it on the wall so I would have it checked out. At the mercy of The Shooters Forum should I hold out for something newer or should I tag it and bag it! I even have the cash with me which is rare. Its on consignment so the price is firm.
