Pre-Owned real Winchester 92s are ....... everywhere. As Treebeard contributed, around a Million of them were manufactured and are lurking everywhere. There's still gobs of them still hiding in the back corner of a lot of closets. Normally, a real Winchester '92 will sell or be priced somewhat higher than a Rossi or Chiappa, and you may run into the occasional El Tigre from Spain. Although the Spanish guns can be a little rough. Let us not forget the Japanese copy. Oh, right, back to the original Winchester '92. Lots of em out there. Like anything else we play with in CAS, a little attention is needed. Change out the springs, perhaps shim the right side cartridge guide. Stuff like that.
A '92 will never be quite as fast as a competition tuned Uberti '73, but so what??? Unless your in the top 25% of CAS shooters, the speed of the '73 is simply academic. Most folks would be amazed at just how fast a nice '92 can be run. Prior to the Short Stroke '73s, the hot ticket for CAS was a tuned '92. I had a really nice "Navy Arms" Rossi built short rifle in the WaBac (Sherman and the Professer) and have kicked myself ever since I sold it. Say La Vee
