A Sad Tail of Woe
Coffinmaker:
Several Lustrum ago .... when Navy Arms was still a going concern, I bought a really nice Navy Arms marked '92 Short Rifle. Stainless, Octagonal barrel, really nice wood. 45 Colt. When it wouldn't run 45 Schofield, I decided not to mess with it and sold it on. Been trying to find one like it for the last several years.
This go around, with a '92 I'd probably be inclined to find one in 44-40. I don't own anything in 44-40. Just might be fun.

I had one just like that to try out ...except the wood was somewhat mismatched , nice but grain and color were off....
in my case, I opted for a Marlin (JM) 94 in 45 ....
Abilene:
And I had one just like it :) Bought in late '99 I think.
It replaced my first CAS rifle, a .45 '94 Trapper (yeah, really baaad choice), so it was a major step up. I got it because I decided I wanted to shoot BP and mistakenly thought I needed all stainless guns for that. But even with some work it wasn't very smooth, and then one weekend at a big match I bought a .44 Spcl '66 and then won a .357 '73 the next night at the banquet, and after that the poor '92 just sat unused until I sold it a few years later to help finance my .45 '73 Trapper.

Major 2:
Like Abilene ...I moved on ..to a 44 Special 73
Blackpowder Burn:
I was never a big fan of the '92 until I acquired an old Winchester in 32-20. I love that rifle.
It's always a hard choice deciding whether to take it, my original '73 in 38-40 or my Lightning in 44-40.
So many toys, so little time.................
