The bug bit me again and my latest Winchester/Miroku rifle is an 1892 Limited Series Deluxe Takedown in 45 Colt with a 20” barrel. I cannot find this rifle catalogued anywhere. I did find an article on the internet that said the rifle was issued in 2008 in calibers .357 mag, .44 mag, 44-40, and 45 Colt. The article stated there were 231 issued with a 24” barrel and 231 with a 20” barrel. A trapper with a 16” barrel came later. I don’t know how many Trappers were issued. Also, this rifle is not listed in the Blue Book of Gun Values. I am thinking this was one of Davidson’s limited issue rifles and if so, I think the MSRP was somewhere around $1899 but not certain. I am almost certain the rifle is unfired as the breach and bolt face are perfectly clean. Absolutely no evidence it has been fired. A friend who works at one of my LGS called me yesterday and told me a guy was wanting to trade it for something else and that it had belonged to his deceased father. I had told my friend only a couple of days before to be on the lookout for one of the new Winchesters in a trapper takedown because I was interested in one. Not the greatest looking wood but not bad either. I know this isn’t a trapper but is what they now refer to as a short rifle. I’ll just continue to be on the lookout for a trapper.

Looks very nice and hopefully it is unfired.
