Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Winchester Model 1892 also known as the Model 92 is a lever-action repeating rifle that was designed by John Browning as a smaller, lighter version of his large-frame Model 1886, and which replaced the Model 1873 as the company's lever-action for pistol-caliber rounds such as the .44-40. When asked by Winchester to design an improved lever action to compete with a recent Marlin offering, John Browning said he would have the prototype completed in under a month or it would be free. Within two weeks, Browning had a functioning prototype of the '92. Calibers for the rifle vary, and some are custom-chambered.
The original rounds were the .32-20, .38-40, and .44-40 Winchester centerfire rounds, followed in 1895 by the new .25-20. A few Model '92s chambered for .218 Bee were produced in 1936-38. Rifles in .44-40 proved to be the most popular, far outstripping sales of the other chamberings. The Winchester Models 53 and 65 were relabeled Model 1892s. Admiral Robert E. Peary carried an 1892 on his trips to the North Pole, and Secretary of War Patrick Hurley was presented with the one-millionth rifle on December 13, 1932. Famous Amazon explorer Percy Fawcett also carried a Winchester '92 on his expeditions, and the famous jaguar hunter Sasha Siemel used a short-barreled Winchester '92 carbine with a bayonet attached. The Royal Navy used 21,000 Winchester Model 1892's during World War I.
Although the Model 1892 made its debut after the closing of the American frontier, and the true "Guns that Won the West" were the earlier Models 1866 and 1873, it nonetheless became an icon of Western mythology through its use in hundreds of motion pictures and television shows, standing in for its older siblings. John Wayne famously carried Model '92s in dozens of films and owned several personally, some with the distinctive oversized "loop" lever. Other notable screen '92s were those of Chuck Connors in The Rifleman and Steve McQueen in Wanted: Dead or Alive.
