Item Description
Bryant Ridge Co. is pleased to present this LIMITED EDITION lever-action rifle for a penny-start auction; this is the Browning B-92 Centennial!
The Browning B-92 Centennial was manufactured for only a brief period in 1978, with production limited to just 6,000 rifles. Such a restricted run makes this model exceptionally scarce, and its rarity has elevated it to a highly sought-after status among discerning firearm collectors. With so few ever produced, surviving examples are prized as both historical commemoratives and valuable investment-grade pieces.

Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Browning B-92 Centennial, introduced in 1978, was a special commemorative edition designed to honor Browning’s 100th anniversary as a firearms manufacturer. Chambered in the classic .44 Magnum, this lever-action rifle was based on the Winchester Model 1892 design, which was one of John Moses Browning’s most successful and enduring creations. The B-92 Centennial combined traditional Old West styling with modern craftsmanship, offering shooters and collectors a robust, smooth-cycling action built to handle contemporary magnum loads. Featuring high-grade walnut stocks with finely cut checkering, a polished blued finish, and gold-filled Centennial markings, the rifle balanced utility with commemorative appeal. With its 20-inch barrel and classic carbine profile, the B-92 Centennial captured the spirit of frontier lever-actions while showcasing the precision manufacturing Browning had become known for in the 20th century. What makes the Browning B-92 Centennial especially significant is its limited production run—only 6,000 rifles were manufactured in 1978, ensuring that it would be a rare and desirable piece from the start. This scarcity, combined with its direct lineage to John Browning’s iconic Winchester design, has elevated the rifle to a high place among collectors of commemorative firearms. Many examples remain in excellent or unfired condition, as owners often preserved them as investments and historical tributes rather than working guns. As part of Browning’s centennial collection, the B-92 represents not only a celebration of the company’s legacy but also a functional, high-quality firearm in its own right. Today, it is admired as both a finely made lever-action rifle and a historically significant limited edition, making it one of the most collectible Browning commemoratives produced.
