Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this lever-action rifle for a penny-start auction, this is the Winchester Model 92 Saddle Ring.
A desirable feature to collectors, the saddle ring on the Winchester Model 1892 is far more than just a detail—it’s a hallmark of the classic “working carbine” configuration associated with horseback carry and hard frontier use. Winchester included the ring as a practical way to secure the rifle with a thong or strap, and that history gives the gun an unmistakable Old West character that collectors love. Just as important, many saddle rings were removed over the decades to eliminate rattle or snagging, so an example that still retains its saddle ring presents as a more complete, correct survivor and often carries added collector appeal. It’s one of those instantly recognizable features that strengthens originality, boosts display value, and helps tell the story of what the 92 was built to be: a fast-handling, purpose-driven carbine.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 1892, more commonly known as the Winchester Model 92, is a classic American lever-action rifle celebrated for its compact size, exceptional strength, and silky-smooth operation, all hallmarks of John Moses Browning’s legendary firearm design work. Introduced in 1892 as a scaled-down successor to the Winchester Model 1886, the Model 92 was specifically engineered for pistol-caliber cartridges, making it lighter, faster-handling, and more economical to shoot than its larger predecessors. It was most commonly chambered in .44-40 Winchester, but was also widely produced in .38-40, .32-20, and .25-20, cartridges that were popular with ranchers, trappers, lawmen, and civilians who appreciated the ability to share ammunition with their revolvers. The Model 92 features a dual vertical locking-lug system, a robust and elegant action design that provides excellent strength relative to its size while maintaining extremely smooth cycling, contributing to its reputation for reliability even under hard use. Feeding from a tubular magazine beneath the barrel, the rifle allows quick follow-up shots and instinctive handling, making it ideal for short-range hunting, pest control, and defensive roles in the American West. Early rifles were finished with blued steel barrels and receivers paired with walnut stocks, often featuring crescent steel buttplates and classic open iron sights, giving the Model 92 its unmistakable Old West aesthetic. Compact, well-balanced, and mechanically refined, the Winchester Model 92 gained renewed fame in the 20th century through its frequent appearance in Western films and television, further cementing its iconic status. Today, original examples are highly collectible, while modern reproductions continue to be produced, a testament to the Model 92’s enduring appeal as one of the finest pistol-caliber lever-action rifles ever made.
